Recently switched from VsCodium to neovim - but still use Codium for some specific tasks.
My setup customization focuses around Telescope, Treesitter, Trouble & Blink.
But the advice I got was to start with vim keybindings in VSCode. I used those for six weeks until I got the hang of the basics and it had gone from frustrating to somewhat second nature.
Then I made the move.
I still use Codium for Terraform work (I have struggled to get the Terraform LS working well in neovim and I don’t use it often enough to warrant the effort) and as a GUI git client - I like the ability to add a single line from multiple files and I haven’t looked up how to do it any other way - I’ve got other stuff to do and it’s not slowing me down.
But I grew to hate Codium / VS code tabs in larger codebases. I was spending so much time looking for open tabs ( I realise this is a me problem). While neovim has tabs, it’s much more controlled and I typically use them very differently and very sparingly.
If I need to look up a data structure I just call it up temporarily with Telescope via a find files call or a live grep call (both setup to only use my project directory by default), take a peak, and move on.
The thing is - security risks are going to exist anywhere you install plugins you haven’t audited the code for. Unless you work in an IDE where there’s a company guaranteeing all plugins - there are always going to be risks.
I’d argue that VSCode, while a bigger target, has both a large user base and Microsoft’s security team going for it. I don’t see the theme being compromised as much as problem because it got solved and also prompted some serious security review of many marketplace plugins. Not ideal, but not terrible.
I have to ask - how did you think a cashier can help with your request?
I’m not trying to be a jerk here, but cashiers are pretty low on the corporate ladder at Loblaws. If you knew it wasn’t their job, what were you looking for and what did you want in response?
I don’t shop at Loblaws. We’ve been shopping locally since the boycott last May.
But one of the things worth considering is what we expect of each other. Was one person’s rudeness reflective of everyone else who works somewhere?
There are so many way we can work together to make our communities and country stronger. Not shopping at Loblaws can be one of them. But for this reason? I’m sorry, it just seems strained and unusual.
