  A Community-led Hyper-Hackable Text Editor (by pulsar-edit)

  

  >I far preferred the UX and design of Atom, but I eventually caved

  That's my experience exactly. I still haven't been able to configure VS Code to fully match the experience I want with respect to keybindings and subtle look-and-feel and functionality details.

  Aside from the infrequent case of hanging when opening very large files I had no real issues with Atom and could have happily kept using it.

  For what it's worth Pulsar (https://pulsar-edit.dev/) appears to be a community-maintained fork of Atom. (For that matter one of the primary Atom creators is working on https://zed.dev/.) But personally I got tired of swimming upstream and just caved to VS Code.

  (I am a little tempted to go back to emacs, which was my editor of choice before Atom, but that's ends up being an enormous time-sink for me anyway.)

  Run automatically-inferred Python code blocks in the VS Code Jupyter extension (by kylebarron)

  I completely agree. For the last couple years I've used VSCode for everything _except_ interactive Python development because Atom + Hydrogen is just too good.

  I'm giving VS Code + its Jupyter extension a shot for now. It's significantly worse than Hydrogen, but I tried to make it a little less bad with a quick extension to auto-infer code blocks [0].

  I really hope that Visual Studio Code at least ports the Markdown Preview Plus extension, which was amazing:

  Unfortunately, VS Code extensions are often poor quality.

  :atom: Run code interactively, inspect data, and plot. All the power of Jupyter kernels, inside your favorite text editor.

  

  But with Hydrogen you could do that in a regular Python script without needing to create a notebook or think in terms of cells. There's an example of this in the Hydrogen readme: https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen#hydrogen-

  I remember when I couldn't fly across the country without running out of power due the terrible power usage of VSCode.

  One such example was the cursor blinking causing hight cpu usage - https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/22900 I'm assuming they've fixed it?

  Electron in general continues to be a bloated memory hog and inefficient. I think the real interesting thing is how good it is despite the runtimes/frameworks they are using, not because of them. It's more an example of there's no such thing as the "right tool".

  Of course, this is an earlier generation. But if the commenter is correct that VS Code is one of the greatest pieces of engineering of our time, then what the heck are we doing. And if the commenter is incorrect, then what the heck are we doing as a community in our duty to educate to the extent that the commenter doesn't realize that massive projects like this have been implemented, and continue to be implemented.

  We have rockets that land by themselves, trucks making cross-country autonomous trips without intervention, multiple systems that can securely run arbitrary sandboxed code from anywhere in the world by simply typing a URL. I'd want someone to be excited not by an IDE for an IDE's sake, but what they can build with their IDE.
