Must have installed bad plugins. I’ve literally never had vs code crash.

Only thing Notepad++ does better for me is being able to open, like 1M+ line files.
Outside of that, I hate to admit because MS, but VS Code is solid-ish.
I've opened 2GB files in vim before without an issue. Takes a bit to load everything in memory, but after that it works flawlessly.
Yeah if I need to open up massive files (well not even that large, vscode really isn’t good for even slightly large files), I use Sublime text.
Yeah I can't remember vs code crashing, at least not more than once every few months
Right? I have had a hundred problems with extensions (pretty much anything with an embedded target: pycom, nrf connect, platformio) but never with code itself crashing
I give it.. an hour before someone mentions vi or cat as the true old way
ed. ed is the standard editor.
Brother, come join us in the church of Emacs
Hersey, the church of vim is superior
I use nano. Also, green is the tastiest color of crayon.
If Vim and EMacs are Gork//Mork, then Nano is the emperor.
I feel like helix is the LDS church of the editor world.
Are you guys seriously writing code on windows? I thought you were joking!?
My company forces us. And we write code that runs on Linux machines. 💀
I've been in your situation, too, and decided to annoy the fuck out of them about it until the gave me a Linux machine. Or at least a Mac.
Seems idiotic to essentially get Windows just to use SSH.
Counterpoint, vim :3
I need to reconfigure vim and learn how to get the plugins up properly. I use lunarvim but inconsistently.
I use Notepad++ as my main editor anyways. It seems less distracting to me than VSCode.
The Powershell ISE, it burns us!
I do all my coding in the cloud, via Google docs 😎
Same, but with nano.
Using a UI? We can go lower
Emacs crashes sometimes when I write rust so I use vs code for now. How do I see the crash report? I researched a little but couldn't find.
Still grokking tabbed notepad here....
