Im horrified by the extensions I've got installed in VS Code. They are so good but one day one will go rouge and install malware on my machine.



Please don't get me started on VScode. That is basically a remote execution environment. Just adding an extension and opening a file has the cheek to ask if what is on your filesystem is trusted immediately after downloading several tens of megabytes of who knows what for language server and parser.

I was using it for LaTeX stuff and programming but I shelved it. I'm on a Mac so it's system provided vim for me and the Apple command line dev tools, mostly for git, llvm and make. It works and I don't need or use any extensions for it or pull anything else onto my computer.
