Visual Studio Code alternatives for Linux? (lemmy.ml)

While I understand the lack of proper open source alternatives for some software like AutoCAD and After Effects, it always felt weird that the best IDEs/Text Editors are made by big corporations, because you know, these are the tools programmers use.

I tried vim/neovim, which I enjoy using, but I've come to prefer visual editors instead of text based. Kate looks promising, and I'm willing to contribute to it in my free time, but it just has that "amateurish" feel to it that I can't explain.

Anyone aware of other alternatives?

As one of the Pulsar team, thanks for the support! Always nice to see it being recommended on these kinds of threads.

    Is there support for serving it out to a browser similar to vscode.dev? I've been looking into having something like that, and I didn't find anything that was similar.

    No, it would require an awful lot of development, there are quite a few native modules. For a browser ide i would check out phcode.dev which is a development of Adobe's brackets editor.
