WORKED

I didn't really want to wander outside of VSCode just yet because I was happy with VSCode Copilot Opus-4.5

I think a lot of folks don't find vim appealing and stick to vscode and that's okay too.

Much the same as when I picked up... VSCode (replacing Visual Studio).

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Replacing Visual Studio in workflow

VSCode the interface, CLine the agent.

All the major apps are electron. VSCode... it s pretty much unavoidable now.

The VSCode API Plugins for managing this are terrible and tend to fail silently.

GitHub Codespaces runs a VsCode fully in the browser for you.
