    Considering to switch to VSCode on the laptop. But do I look like I have RAM and CPU horsepower to give away? Tough question...

    @hutattedonmyarm ymmv, to me it seemed an issue of plugins. But I just use it for specific projects.

    @hutattedonmyarm In terms of RAM/CPU usage, your best option is what I used before VSCode: vim!

    @rafaelcosta Heh. I tried, but never could get into vim that much. I'm mostly happy with Sublime Text, but haven't found a set up which completely satisfies me

    @33MHz It's more along the lines of "yuck, electron app". Oh well, I might try it on the desktop and see if I like it

    @hutattedonmyarm when I switched to VSCode from BBEdit I was alarmed by how much faster my battery drained and pleased by how utterly pleasant it was to have plugins checking my code and doing useful things after every ⌘S. You should at least try it.

    @adiabatic @hutattedonmyarm Is BBEdit good?

      @rafaelcosta @adiabatic Never used it myself. I've hear lots of good things though

      @rafaelcosta @hutattedonmyarm There are a couple things I prefer to use it for (automatic, disableable automatic quote curling†, handling ginormous (log) files easily), but…it's past its prime. † handy when writing Markdown with occasional HTML attributes

      @rafaelcosta @hutattedonmyarm It's still pinned to my Dock, though, and not out of sheer inertia. Being able to use plugins from both Linux and Windows developers pushes the popular editors over the top for most uses. Plus, multi-cursor is darn handy.
