Clearly this is a controversial statement. I’m team “use what’s available and preference tools that get the job done quickly.”
I work in several different languages. VSCode has TreeSitter and a bevy of slick plug-ins. NP++ does not. I can use VSCode on both Windows and Linux. If I’ve got a desktop environment, I will hands down pick VSCode over NP++ every time.
VSCode is better than np++ in every way
I heavily use both and this is objectively untrue.
Startup time. RAM consumption. Privacy.
vscodium fixes the privacy anyway. It’s always open so startup times are no issue for me.
I still prefer to keep a stripped down, basic text editor though. Ah well, I’m not on windows so no big deal.
At the cost of some features not working (e.g. Pylance, which is the default Python extension, as well as others by MS).
I guess you’re doing it wrong then? Stop parroting memes
Those are 2 different use case pieces of software . NP++ is an editor while vscode is an IDE

Otherwise, let’s be real, NeoVim is king.
Install time? Startup time? Useless bloat?
