I've used VS Code for a long time, but have recently grown weary of Microsoft's approach to OSS. I've checked out VS Codium which seems like it might be a great option.

What text editor are you using?

You mean there's something other than vim? The hell you say.

vim in terminal
Notepad++ on Windows
VSCode on MacOS

All using Solarized Dark for the color scheme.

I feel old, I'm still using vi.

Have been using Emacs for over a decade, and I'm fairly happy with it.

I'm using GNU Emacs, which is, from my experience, great for open source software and decentralized development. Last year, I found an issue in a package/extension, I could make an experiment by modifying and running its code on the fly. I didn't even need to reload the whole package/extension. So I figured the solution out and submitted a pull request quickly.

used vim for like twenty years and then switched to nano

(Note for those who downvoted me: Get a life, you weirdos. I'll use whatever editor I want.)
