From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode (lemm.ee)

I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

Intellisense is the reason

Intellisense dies when you write heavily templated C++ code (and there are valid production cases for that: in my job we write lots of expression templates to produce optimized math code). In contrast, I found clangd to be pretty responsive even in such scenarios.

vscode + clangd plugin FTW

I'm happy with neovim + clangd + treesitter on my side 😁

I thought that was just their term for code aware features like jumping to defn/references, doc popups, completions, renaming and so on. That is in no way unique to vscode.
