Now that I have a new laptop to install it is time switch to #VSCodium I guess and give #VSCode the bye-bye 👋

#Poll: Which of these code #editor softwares are you currently using for #development?

Here's info about differences between the two: roboleary.net/tools/2022/05/31…

VS Code or VS Codium?

VS Code is a mostly open-source code editor. VS Codium is a fully open-source alternative. Which is one best for you?

In my opinion Microsoft doesn't deserve that the FLOSS community advertises in some way their products.

VSCodium is still a MS product. Advertising it or contributing to it still helps MS to build a better image and a better product.

True, true, MS may contribute to open-source but mostly knows how to *exploit* open-source.

The vast majority of their products are still proprietary and not human friendly. And I think this is getting worse.

Let's not fall for the PR.

@t0k I''ve graduated from "is there an open source alternative" to "is there a noncommercial alternative"
