I use Neovim, LiteXL, and VS Codium depending on the project size and needs. no one tool suits all.
I'm using GNU Emacs, which is, from my experience, great for open source software and decentralized development. Last year, I found an issue in a package/extension, I could make an experiment by modifying and running its code on the fly. I didn't even need to reload the whole package/extension. So I figured the solution out and submitted a pull request quickly.
always vim
neovim
neovim because the plugin ecosystem is vibrant and alive now that they can be built with lua: https://neovimcraft.com
Kakoune but I'm considering switching back to Neovim
I'll make myself unpopular with Sublime Text and VSCode. 😆
On the console, however, I actually use VIM almost exclusively.
I only really use Vim. Mainly because vi is installed on basically every server and distro, so it is what I got used to.
linux mint's xed & GNU nano
I use neovim with little plugins. But I still need to learn how it works properly (I'm really lost but at least I know how to close it) I want to turn it on to an IDE. VS Codium is a great option too
Kate and Neovim.
Have been using Emacs for over a decade, and I'm fairly happy with it.
Emacs (Doom), everything from small notes to big software projects.
TL;DR: Neovim.
Because I feel exceptionally happy today, I'm going to talk about my journey among text editors:
Unnecessary text
I will start from Vim.
I started using Vim 5 years ago.
i = 0
while (still using vim) and i < 6:
test Emacs vanilla
give up with Emacs vanilla
i++
wait 1-4 months
test Emacs Xah-Fly-Keys;
Success
wait 2 months
Back to Vim.
Test again vanilla Emacs 2 more times while using vim.
Test again xah-fly-keys Emacs.
After Several months...
Upgrade to Neovim!
2 days later: Back to Vim.
X more time.
We are on Q1 2020. Let's use Doom Emacs!
While using Doom Emacs I copy vim configs to Neovim because I got bored of Doom for a week.
Doom possesses me for 2 years (while still using Neovim for terminal things sometimes).
2021 Summer I move my Vimrc configs on neovim to Lua. Still Doom.
Doom Emacs decides to no longer open and freezes on startup. Nice.
Now I'm on Neovim. Waiting for nativecomp Emacs. I still regularly open Doom Emacs to check whether it got fixed magically by itself (no luck as of today).
I'm happy with with neovim currently. I feel like neovim is like more robust and Doom Emacs can like do many many super cool and maybe little things, but sometimes decides to bug itself. Hard choice.

Neovim and GNOME Builder.
But isn't VSCodium just a build of the Microsoft approach to OSS?
Or is that your way of referring to VSCode? I don't even think of it as OSS...
Personally, I mostly use Kate. Sometimes Vim for quick edits on the terminal or over SSH.
And at $DAYJOB, we use the JetBrains IDEs, which I hate in many ways, but they are competent IDEs, and definitely blow VS Code out of the water, if you want features.
VScodium to VScode is as Chromium is to Chrome
Yeah, I know that. But much like with Chromium, it's only technically open-source and you're still eating whatever changes Microsoft/Google decide to include.
So, if it's that what they mean with "Microsoft's approach to OSS", then VSCodium is no different.

I just use geany.
Good old vim
I used atom a lot but ever since microsoft bought it, I'm moving to vscodium. And Kate for quick file editing
ever since microsoft bought it, I’m moving to vscodium.
Naive question : why the move?

1- terminal-based text editor,
2- with mouse support,
3- 1000 x better than nano(editor) & vim (just kidding, 5 x better)
Vim and neovim have mouse support as well. Micro has less plugins and is overall less configurable than (neo)vim. The style sure is different, but in terms of features, vim outclasses micro atm.

Thanks for letting me know about this editor! It looks exactly what I want. :)

I use Vim very often, but work recently bought me a license for PyCharm and I'm loving it.
I suppose what you'll want to use depends on your use case. For what I use it for—mainly bash, python, and terraform—PyCharm works very well.
Textmate
I feel old, I'm still using vi.
This was already asked in !programming@lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/53721
There is a big difference between an IDE and an editor!
An editor is much more simple, while an IDE offers complete project management and other tools!

You mean there's something other than vim? The hell you say.
Been trying graphical text editors here and there but the vi-emulators just aren't Neovim.
kitty terminal + neovim + Packager + COC + so many other things
it's a joy, honestly
