Kate on Debian.
Too many people using VSCode. At work on Windows I was using it at work (on Windows) but got disgusted with myself and switched to Kate. On Linux I tried VSCodium but the Flatpak was soooo slow, bloated, and crashy... I'm just sticking with Kate on every OS.
Languages: Julia, Python, JavaScript, PHP
When I'm pairing with someone who uses VSCode it's usually painful how slow they are about finding and opening files. And so much screen space is taken up by stuff that is not code. It's extra frustrating because even VSCode has built-in solutions for all of this, but lots of people don't seem to understand how to use it efficiently.
