For the most part I have found VS Code to be a fairly decent IDE for what I need. I can pinpoint the exact date it was enshittified - whenever MS put it on a biweekly release cycle.

About

Engineer (nuclear, safety analysis), scientific software developer, rehabilitator of unloved FORTRAN, recovering sysadmin, marginally competent solderator. Occasional Bond Villain (Card Overpunch). Nuclear Scoundrel™ My internet claim to fame was livetweeting the Fukushima reactor failures on the Birdsite. I'm pretty chipper for one spending so much time looking at sad melty reactors and sad creaky software.
