    I don’t get why some people argue over text editors… Just use whatever works. I like VSCode, not because it’s the best or the fastest or the lightest.

    It works and it does all I need it to do, which is all that I need from a text editor.

        VSCode is the best for me, simple, good UI, extensions, 0 setup required, can run on practically anything created after the dinosaur age (early 2000s).

        If it does everything it needs to do without major drawbacks, then it is the best editor.

          Yeah… and these criteria depend on the editor + use case combo. Hence, the discussion and excitement around text editors

          Pretty much. But some people end up wanting to configure and tweak the thing just so they “can work”, when in reality they never actually use any of those tweaked things

          Sometimes, it feels like people that spend too much time glorifying text editors are just trying to justify why they’re using a bad one.
