Come to neovim and spend countless hours tweaking your configs when you should be working 🙃
That was exactly my experience with it.
I was using VIM in the old days, so I already had some memories on now to do basic editing.
And then I’ve spent a week trying to make NeoVIM a well adjusted IDE for C, Java, JavaScript and go. I’ve quit after a week, as the results were not satisfactory.
- Install VSCode
- Install all extensions
- Copy extensions folder
- Install Codium
- Move extensions to Codium extensions folder
- Remove VSCode
or just use the vscode marketplace in codium…
you can also just use openvsix, which actually contains everything you’ll ever need
This works until you have debug .NET.
Does codium handle updates for the extensions?
You can also download the *.vsix file of the desired extension from either Github or Microsoft’s extension marketplace and install it manually by clicking on “Install from VSIX” in the Extensions menu.
This obviously doesn’t solve the update problem and it is also questionable if this is in terms with the “Microsoft Terms of Use” of the extension.
Still waiting for VSCopium
i always mistype codium as copium…
soalias --save copium codium
I thought you had a typo… But then I look it up…

It’s real… But I think it’s abandoned…
NeoVim, VSCodium and Kate are my picks.
Is there even a difference, asside from the telemetry?
VSCodium has limited plugins, but most known ones were available… Weird logo, some kind of a seaplant?? But I soon dig it…
VSCode has all the plugins, but with Microsoft’s Telemetry as expected… Cool logo…
Truth: I’m using VSCodium, the absence of Telemetry tends to improve it’s overall performance… I’m beginning to like the logo… Plugins support has improved, all the plugins I used in VSCode, are now available… All of it…
You can add the official microsoft marketplace in a json file and get all the addons :)
vim users: you guys got buttons?
I miss when this was vim vs Emacs
Whish side were you on then? The correct side (emacs) or the wrong side (vim)?
Any Jetbrains users here?
Yes, it seems to have everything I need for Go and Python
Vim, nano, micro, emacs… ffs. Your text editor should not be a shell, a file manager, a compiler, a build system or a dependency manager. Do one thing and do it well, a editor that tries to be everything ultimately becomes an inflexible mess. An integrated system often becomes an interdependent system, where you are stuck with a single build system, version control, compiler, or file manager. When these are separate tools, they are interchangeable, one person can use vim, the other nano, a third gedit. One project can use make, a second ninja or meson.
If a project uses VScode, it basically forces everyone else to use it or forces you to maintain two separate build systems. Another option is to only use external tools, but then VScode just becomes an extremely bloated text editor. On my computer, both vim and emacs, start before I can lift my finger from the enter key. The same can’t be said about VScode.
Emacs
