VSCode was my to-go for years but I had to force alternatives due to the increasingly bad practices I’ve seen by Microsoft. So I switched to vim. It has a large learning curve for me & the habits I have, and a lot or it requires work, but I have liked the change a lot — especially for remoting and working directly on other systems. It isn’t as convenient or easy, but the freedom is important.

Anyway, with regards to Rust, I was using https://github.com/helix-editor/helix for a bit as an editor. I ran into an issue with keymapping that was pretty basic but still an involved feature and so I set it down, but it is still very functional. A few years and it will be solid. And I agree with you, new offerings will come from Rust that will outcompete.
