Thanks for the suggestions. I cannot fucking stand vscode or vscodium
Which aspects about it do you dislike?
I’m asking since for most everything – except maybe the fact it’s Electron-based – there’s an extension, or the behavior can already be altered in the settings.
Also, IDK how your workplace handles application management, but if you have any freedom as a developer (if that is your role?), make sure to get a package manager, presumably Homebrew or MacPorts.
Brew especially isn’t perfect, but
brew install <name>handily beats out any installation method containing the words “App Store” or “Browser download button.”You have to apply some (from time to time well-hidden) tweaks to macOS until it becomes usable. :P
I hate it so much I'm not even getting into that.
Out of curiosity, what IDE do you want to use and which one are you stuck with?
