I've enjoyed JetBrains over either so far.
Fly in fly trap:
:q!
Recording @q
I thought flies use ZZ for the onomatopoeia
So ZQ comes from the sound of a fly being swatted?
But if you accidentally typed a or i, press ESC first.
The best thing about Vim is that despite having all the features of a modern IDE it starts in 0.1s and you can start editing right away while the code data is loading asynchronously.
The worst thing about Vim is that... just kidding, there's nothing bad about it.
Vscode I'm always like all right let's code... Ah shit, the "what's new" window has popped up again in the middle of my typing...

0.1s is way too long, you need to optimize your startup time. /s
There also IDEs that start instantly.
They don't ship a whole browser though.

I remapped the power button of my computer to whatever that series of keypresses is that exits vim.
that series of keypresses is that exits vim
One of the great mysteries of the universe. However, I can confirm that my standard power button also exits vim.
That's really smart. That way if I ever figure out the command to exit Vim, it'll behave the same as my current method (powering off the PC.)
Emacs with evil mode
Ah! I loved using Doom EMacs for a while!
β¦ but alas I came back to my initial love with Neovim π

Do you mean Neovim?
Surely you aren't comparing a flat text editor to an IDE that has language server support, debuggers and refactoring tools?
Vim and VS Code are both text editors that can become IDEs with plugins. You can use vim with language servers if you want, as there are plugins for it.

I only use butterfly flaps that move magnetic needles next to my HDD.
Like a real programmer would.
I do the same with moths as they are more active at night
You need a bigger lΓ€mp brΓΈther!
I like VSCodium, a vscode build without ms telemetry and such
sounds interesting enough to try, thanks! :D
itβs identical to vscode, except that a few extensions donβt work (notably, intellicode and the ms c/c++ extensions)
HAHAHAHA I know the secret passcode to escape!
Incidentally, it's ctrl+]. But I remap it to 'kj', and somehow have never typed 'blackjack' in all my years of using Vim!

Wouldn't the one that ops you into telemetry be the trap?
I used to know a developer who wrote all his code in Notepad. This was around 2005 or 6. We had just starting to replace our legacy ASP code with ASP.Net, which he was determined to do in Notepad. I was gone before I could see how that worked out.
Vim and VScode are my favorite code editors but I admit that Vim is better :]

vim was such an unimaginable improvement over nano for doing stuff on linux servers. Having an in-shell-editor search-and-replace function alone is worth everything you have to do to learn vim.
And after I was comfortable around vim because of all the "training" on servers, I just switched to vim fulltime. No more GUI editor for me!
You will be tempted to think that by learning how to use (neo)VIM your coding skills will magically improve tenfold.
It won't

vscodium slightly better than vscode tho.
honestly all ide's are rubbish - especially electron ones. for a gui editor, i've just gone back to sublime text and have never been happier.

Helix tho
There's no way to emote it, but you know when those old Italian ladies spit at people to keep the evil away from themselves? I just did that in your general direction...
