Pulsar, the best code editor (optimizedbyotto.com)

Pulsar (former Atom) is still the best code editor in my opinion. It is easiest and fastest to use, has all the nice productivity boosting plugins and is overall great for all the same reasons the Atom was great. ๐Ÿš€

Had a distinguished collegue (from the Bell Lab days) say to me recently:

"IDEs take up a lot of RAM on my machine. Vim takes up a lot of squishy RAM in my head. I need squishy RAM to hold info relevant to problem solving, not options available in my tool chain."

Oh god yes! Each instance of VS22 takes up more than 1Gb of RAM - what I'm doing right now with this piece of code does NOT need 1Gb of memory! Have they not heard of lazy loading?
