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

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] expr@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah I can't remember vs code crashing, at least not more than once every few months

[-] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 1 points 3 days ago

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

Are you guys seriously writing code on windows? I thought you were joking!?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

My company forces us. And we write code that runs on Linux machines. 💀

[-] asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

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.

I give it.. an hour before someone mentions vi or cat as the true old way

ed. ed is the standard editor.

In case anyone wants to compile from source

Brother, come join us in the church of Emacs

[-] kittenzrulz123 2 points 4 days ago

Hersey, the church of vim is superior

[-] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

I use nano. Also, green is the tastiest color of crayon.

[-] StraponStratos@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 days ago

If Vim and EMacs are Gork//Mork, then Nano is the emperor.

[-] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 days ago

I feel like helix is the LDS church of the editor world.

I need to reconfigure vim and learn how to get the plugins up properly. I use lunarvim but inconsistently.

[-] Mk23simp 6 points 4 days ago

I use Notepad++ as my main editor anyways. It seems less distracting to me than VSCode.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

The Powershell ISE, it burns us!

I do all my coding in the cloud, via Google docs 😎

[-] shiroininja@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago

Same, but with nano.

[-] Batbro@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Using a UI? We can go lower

[-] aoidenpa@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Still grokking tabbed notepad here....
