Mostly just Visual Studio Code, alongside the usual constellation of Git + assorted language toolchains.
It's plug and play at every level - no need to waste hours fucking around with an Emacs or (Neo)Vim configuration just to get a decent development environment set up.
(And yes, I would use Codium, but the remote containers extension is simply too good.)
You can download any visual studio code extension from the visual studio extensions marketplace as far as my experience goes. There's a "download extension" link for every extension which will give you a
*.vsixfile. Only pity is that you won't get any automatic updates for the extension.8 just took a look and the VS marketplace website on my mobile and look at what I have found under the "resources" section! This is same for every extension.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. The Remote* extensions rely on the (proprietary) VSCode server, and nobody has managed to hack it to work with e.g. Codium.
Ouch! Thank you for noting.
it relies on a proprietary blob + product.json config from proprietary vscode builds
there's an open source remote development extension (works pretty well) but it currently only supports ssh
Not all extensions work. The pylance one didn't.
