Open-Source Washing
> VSCodium is not "designed" to be less functional, since it is a project maintained by developers who are unaffiliated with Microsoft.
In today's (OSS) world, employment or affiliation doesn't matter much. Microsoft can propose what they want and get what they want from the project, at the end of the day. I don't think these independent maintainers have power to say "No" (if a VSCodium developer can chime in here, I'd love to be stand corrected), or they risk VSCodium to be forked to VSCodiumX, by developers who are friendlier to the megacorp which loves Linux.
Yes, VSCodium is a node to Chromium. "-ium" has a ring akin to "-ish" in today's conjecture. Freemium - Free-ish but not. Chromium - Chrome-ish but not. VSCodium - VSCode-ish, but not. This might be curse in the naming, but it feels like that, at least for me.
The blog post I linked quotes a tweet which supports what I'm saying, heck even the blog post does a much better job of detailing what I was trying to say here in my previous comments.
To circle back, the problem with -ium projects are, they are effectively banned from participating in the main ecosystem which drives these projects forward, and to be in "The Ecosystem", you need to use the closed source versions with pervasive data collection and whatnot. Heck, even Google abuses Chromium with "Experiments and Proposals", which they use to politely yet forcefully push the web to the places they want. VSCodium is the same getaway drug and test vessel for Microsoft.
Lure with Open Source version, trap with closed source version for "Full Benefits" (for the company, because user is the product).
> You're entitled to your own opinion, but Atom was developed by GitHub...
Yes & yes.
> which was acquired by Microsoft.
Yes.
> It doesn't help that Atom was discontinued last year, with the final version having been released in March 2022
However, it's forked as Pulsar [0], which I meant by "current form" in my previous comment. Again, it's MIT licensed, and that's not my favorite, but at least it's not a company editor now.
Atom's original developers started to build Zed, which is worst of both worlds currently (Open source with a closed backend, plus "All your data belong to us" clause).
At the end of the day, from my perspective "-ium" projects and their sanitized versions are just open-core versions of the "main tools" developed from them.
Just because these versions somehow work, and have a permissive license doesn't make them open source in the meta sense. Pedantically they are open source software, yes, but they are just the "Open Core" or Demo/Shareware versions of the tools which companies use to strange to ecosystems.
This is just enshittification of open source in my eyes.
More power to you if you're happy with the -ium tools, but I'd rather use truly free software (Like Eclipse), or use completely honest closed source software (like BBEdit), instead of using tools designed to look like open source but not.

Clarification question
Also, don't worry - we understand that there's documentation lacking on the "extend Pulsar" part and on package creation, but we're working on it. We're also working on better ways to test, document, and create packages (and grammars - see, for example, how we usually tested grammars in the past and how we're migrating to for example), so it's just a matter of time, really.

Is downloading vs code okay in this case ?
For JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, Visual Studio Code is the best solution because it already runs on the Electron framework. So, try VSCode. Don't worry; your device won't be harmed. If its performance was unbearable, you can always put it aside. You can also try Atom. It is outdated, but it could be answer to your need.

Ask HN: Design of Emacs type extensible editor based on electron?
I'm surprised that nobody here mentioned Atom [1]. IIUC, Atom was designed to be hackable like Emacs.
A successor to Atom is Pulsar [2].

App LIST!!!
atom (RIP buddy! Free) Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on Electron, and based on everything we love about our favourite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration

Code Editor from scratch ?
Hey everyone, I'm developing an open source text editor called Valence. I'm just getting started with its development and the next and main thing I need to implement is the editor itself. Now I know there are many different code editors like CodeMirror, Ace.js and Monaco but I want to start from scratch and build something like Atom had done. Currently I created a contenteditable div and also added a custom cursor. BTW I'm using React, TailwindCSS and TypeScript. Here is the component
