I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

    I was using Atom, but that died. I work with both Python and Fortran, and VSCode works for my usecase, but I’m open to suggestions.

        Didn’t know about this, will definitely give this a shot. There’s also Lapce, which doesn’t use Electron and looks promising.

        I almost see Pulsar as the anti-VSCode/Microsoft in a way. Microsoft slowed development and killed Atom in order to promote use of VSCode. Instead of letting it die we decided to keep it alive and offer it as a viable alternative. So in some sense it almost exists just to spite Microsoft’s attempts to kill it.

        Nice! I used atom for about a year before it was discontinued and switched to just using Kate. Definitely going to have to checkout pulsar, thanks for dropping it here.

          I switched to Kate eventually myself. Using the KDE defaults where possible to reduce size encouraged me to do it
