2) If you are a non-MS person, make sure you don’t miss out on the greatness of Visual Studio Code by dismissing it as yet another Windows centric product. VS Code is world class performant, has a great plugin arch/ecosystem, and somehow combines a hardcore developer first mindset with carefully thought out UX at the same time.
Also to be clear for those not much in the MS world, the “Visual Studio“ product line you’ve heard of for decades is not the same thing. It’s confusing naming but Visual Studio Code is relatively new and very different.
I second your recommendation, I'm a sucker for a sleek editor with a great plugin architecture.
