Neovim. It's painful at the beginning, but I'm getting more confident and productive. IMO, it's worth it if you're into CLI.

I also considered JetBrains products and Zed.

Speed and battery consumption are important to me, and JetBrains is too monstrous to satisfy these criteria. Besides, JetBrains doesn't really offer a basic code editor that you can extend with plugins. IntelliJ IDEA is meant to be like that, but it's a huge Java IDE whether you need it or not.

Zed looked good, but I decided not to invest my time into another code editor with paid features - they tend to enshittify over time.

Professional as in an organisation? You should probably start by gathering functional and non-functional requirements from stakeholders.

Can I update bios on my laptop with this? On the website, Lenovo only offers an exe file for Windows - can't even install it manually in BIOS like I'd normally do on a desktop PC.

It's part of the git extension, not github, according to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/310226 My understanding is that there is a separate extension for github: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/tree/main/extensions/github Or do you need both for this co-authored thing?

In any case, the point is that vscodium is still based on the same source code, and Microsoft can do anything with it.

Afaik, they only remove telemetry and branding. Although they are lagging behind a little, so this change didn't reach vscodium: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/2823

On the flip side, it pushed me to move away from vscode. Whoever did this, thanks.

Becoming? I think you're at least 10 years too late for present continuous.
