VSCodium isn’t going to save us. MSFT LSP’s cannot be used with MIT releases of VSCode. See https://ghuntley.com/fracture

I'm currently on the JetBrains Ultimate plan, because their tools are that good in my eyes. Well, maybe except Fleet, because it's a bit early in its development and it loves to eat memory for the type of tool it tries to be (e.g. compete against VSC directly).

I hope they don't mess with the recurring discounts for subscriptions.

Honestly, the idea of getting rid of the Community version would be like shooting themselves in the foot, given how popular and passable VSC with a lot of plugins can be. I'm pretty sure nobody would actually consider doing that.

Either way, for larger enterprise projects, JetBrains IDEs still feel like the right tool for the job regardless.

Have a look at Kate, last versions have LSP support and it works quite well

Not close at all.
