Recently, my faithful Sublime Text journey kind of ended, and I did not want to tinker/fix it. I have been using it since its first year of release.
So, I had to decide on an IDE to live for the next few decades or for as long as I needed one. The final battle was between Emacs and Vim. I had played around with both in my prior developer life. I took time to read up, play around, and realize I'm not living in an IDE (Emacs), so I ended up with MacVim. I set it up enough to my liking.
Just as I was getting around, a recent release of Zed surfaced on Hacker News. This is my go-to IDE for now. I still fire up MacVim for quick edits and to keep learning in case I need to settle down on it.
I've been using ST for 10+ years. I pulled a copy and installed some extensions recently. Most extensions I want have multi-year gaps since last updated. ST crushes VS Code performance wise but the DX I'm used to with Code is much better than in ST because of the community.
