I use vscode for my personal projects (c++ and a fully open source stack, compiling for both Linux and Windows).

I’m using the proprietary version of vscode (via the aur) for the plugin repository, but I’ve always envied the open source version…

Are there any tools that have made you excited?

Bonus points if they have some support for compiling with MSVC (or if you can convince me to ditch it for something else).

      That is bloat!

      Just look at the number of files required to build it. Just for a text editor!

      A single Makefile and a source file should be enough!

      Just use ed man!

        The final release is a 700KB zip file containing a single .exe.

        Sure, that’s bigger than the original “edit.com”, but it’s not the 90MB install you’d expect from MS.
