From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I thought that was just their term for code aware features like jumping to defn/references, doc popups, completions, renaming and so on. That is in no way unique to vscode.
Intellisense dies when you write heavily templated C++ code (and there are valid production cases for that: in my job we write lots of expression templates to produce optimized math code). In contrast, I found clangd to be pretty responsive even in such scenarios.

Not me, i use and like a lot QtCreator... Granted, i work with C/C++ so... But its Open Source, cross-platform, has tons of integeations with analyzers debuggers and various tools.
Kdevelop never triggered my bells and CodeBlocks just doesnt feels right for me, but thats me.
For everyrhing else vim or kate depending on how i feel.
i use sublime instead
vim and neovim actually hold a pretty significant marketshare on Linux. a lot of developers use MacOS or Windows, so what does it matter if one more small thing is proprietary? It obviously does matter, but people don't think of it that way.
I hate Windows. I'm too young for all that Microsoft drama, so they're fine in my books.
What's interesting about it?
