I do have one issue with VSCodium, which has turned me off from it - it lacks some of the extensions. I also recall that I ran into trouble with it when configuring it for, I believe, C++ or PHP, but that might just have been a ‘me’ issue that will get resolved after I get more comfortable with TypeScript.
That’s fair, it’s certainly the one big weakness. But that’s the tradeoff. Getting rid of Microsoft means getting rid of Microsoft, extension store included.
If I recall correctly what R studio is, it’s just an IDE for the R language. There are, at the very least, alternatives to it, including VS code.
On that note, I have been meaning to relearn R. I should set up VS Code to work with it, and/or try R studio.
A good alternative to vscode is vscodium. It’s basically vscode with the Microsoft-specific stuff like telemetry not included.
