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.
Zed for lightweight, Kate for regular text and the Jetbrains suite for when I want something that uses all of my RAM, but has a lot of niceties.
The only time I open up vscodium is when I want to conveniently edit files in a docker container that are part of the image rather than mapped from my filesystem
Notepad++ is good but a bit bloated. Would not call it rubbish. Node is solid.
What is your opinion on Lapce ?

Is there a stable way to use closed extensions (like the MS Python one) with vscodium by now? I'd love to get away from MS' grasp, but it's much harder if I'll be missing out on language integrations.
Yes. Use this config edit.. Everything (edit: not written by assholes) works fine.
Edit: Damn. PyLance's developers are up to some bullshit. I would take a hard look at who I'm accepting free candy from, if I used it.
Hm, people in the GitHub issue are still complaining that it doesn't work. Does it work fine for you?

I've never had any issues with any VSCode plugin failing in VSCodium.
But I'm not a PyLance user.
Your experience with other extensions sadly doesn't mean much for Pylance. It specifically has DRM implemented to prevent vscodium from loading it, just like some other MS extensions. That's why I'm asking.
Are there big reasons people will choose one or the other between Sublime and BBEdit?
The big one (imo) is extensions. Outside of the vscode/atom/vim/emacs ecosystems sublime has probably the largest library of extensions, and theyβre readily installable. So if you want an extensible text editor thatβs not based around electron or the terminal itβs the obvious answer.
Atom? People still use atom?
Atom is dead, the successor is called Pulsar
Technically the successor is called VSCode and the original authors are working on Zed.
vscode is an entirely different editor not based on atom. All it used was the atom shell archive https://github.com/electron/asar and electron
Oh I meant in that Atom was sunsetted to make way for it mostly.
Tbf codium is a very well optimized electron app. Don't believe me? Try discord
It's like a very light Elephant
