Here's mine:
Editor: VS Code
Terminal: Default Windows Terminal
Theme: Kimble Dark
Font: Cascadia Code
Icon Theme: File Icons
Some extensions: GlassIt-VSC, Auto Close Tag, Better C++ Syntax, Color Highlight, Prettier
I just love your vs code setup, will definitely try out the theme :)
Oooh cool theme!
Nice Theme! Which bracket extension did you use (the one that displays the green line)?
VS Code has built-in bracket colorization and highlighting :)
found it. thank you!
Big fan of Neovim here!
wow amazing.... where did you get guide to setup like this???
I don't have a guide but I'm creating a post to share this setup.
This was my setup until a few weeks ago when I swapped themes and fonts. Well my terminal is different as I am on ubuntu but pretty close.
my VIM is identical to yours, but my OS is Manjaro (Linux) with i3 tiling window manager and the terminal is ST (suckless terminal)
i'm going to be that "vim guy" and that "the os is the ide guy" and say:
"os is the ide guy" so true 😂, I occasionally use lunar vim sometimes and I have tried gruvbox on vscode, it was my color theme for around 1 month, one of the coolest themes ♥
My Emacs config (and somewhat extensive documentation) is up at [[github.com/jeremyf/dotemacs][githu...]
Man, magit is a life saver, is such a nice and robust way to use git
Just a question, have you used emacs for nodejs development?
I'm trying to convert to emacs 100% but I find difficult to exit vscode "bubble" for nodejs
I haven't done nodens development. But there is eglot and lsp-mode as well as dap support, so I'd imagine it's somewhat smooth.
Pop!_OSorUbuntuTilixoh-my-zshNeoVim+SpaceVimmolokai,badwolf, orjellybeansNerdFont mono 13Feel free to grab my Spacevim.d configuration, if you like it.
might try out the theme, looks great
I like the nanotech/jellybeans theme a lot, too.
Github Copilot is pretty cool as well. Also, Tailwind Intellisense +
prettier-plugin-tailwindcssprevent a lot of hassle (the latter is not a VSCode extension tho).You can grab the theme at serendipitytheme.com/, it has been ported to other platforms aswell.
VS Code Marketplace 15K installs:
Have a good day!
tried the theme, the color scheme is well chosen and actually resembles catppuccin a lot, the only thing that's an issue for me is that some colors are high contrast and I personally prefer softer colors which don't strain the eyes much, overall the theme looks good ❤
Catpuccin?
The color scheme comes from the first version I made marketplace.visualstudio.com/items... but curated.
What theme have you tried? If you have tried the Midnight, yeah they are high contrast because it has been asked from the users, I don't use it personally, I use Sunset V2.
Is just for them :-)
In fact, V1 is only published because they were asking for it to come back :-)
Thank you for the Feddback Ashish, really appreciate
Yes I tried midnight from v2 as I like darker background 😅
That explains it,try Sunset. Try Sunset, the text you snot as harsh.
Is my go to.
the theme looks great, will surely give the darker one a try ❤
Nice!!
Feel free to drop some feedback !
sure!
there are a lot of sites where you can learn more about vim, I haven't configured mine as I rarely use it, but I use LunarVim which already comes with some cool features, and ben awad made a video which you might want to see:

Hi marcusdiedrich,
You might have a look at SpaceVim, which provides a nicely customized set of Vim plugins to be a full-featured IDE. I've used Vim as my primary editor for 20-some years, and switched to NeoVim + SpaceVim about a year and a half ago, and I really enjoy using it. You don't have to use SpaceVim with NeoVim, but I've found they're a very good combination. I've customized my SpaceVim configuration to look just how I like it. I'd be curious to know if you try it and how you like it.
yo man! I've been using your recommendation SpaceVim and wow have I got to say I am super impressed!! This is definitely the best setup for vim especially when it comes to things like customization, syntax highlighting, and having a file tree or plugin manager all within vim and easy to setup. Honestly now that I've got it all configured I doubt I'll even consider switching to anything else. so thank you for the tip. 🔥
Awesome! Really glad you found it useful. I occasionally still use Vim in other configurations, but generally only if I just need a text editor for a quick task. Once I got used to SpaceVim, I haven't really looked back. Especially as I'm often working via an SSH session and latency just isn't an issue as it can be with some other IDEs.
looks great! going to take your advice and setup a similar config with Neovim/Spacevim. thanks for the tip ill let you know how it goes.
Can I install kitty terminal on windows?
Yes. Via wsl
what prompt are you using for hyper, that looks so good 👀
Im using pure prompt, thanks!
thanks!
I've used VS Code a lot previously with a custom Rose Pine theme and quite a few extensions but when I work on multiple windows it slows down a lot, especially with TS. Sublime is such a nicer and smoother experience. I still use VS Code but just when I need to do Live Share coding, for all other purposes Sublime is my preferred choice.
looks great
thanks man! I like to keep things simple so not to much going on there.
minimalism is cool 🤝
Background: I use macOS.
The M+ font is indispensable for me. It is a very well made free Japanese font. I require that Japanese text in my code perfectly line up with alphabet which M+ is good at but some preinstalled macOS fonts fail to do so!
I like this discussion! It might seem trivial, but it made me check and appreciate the various beautiful fonts that I use besides web font and graphic typography! I also appreciate many of the other recommendations in the post and comments, including Sarah Drasner's Night Owl Theme which I used regularly when VS Code (or rather Codium) was my default code editor. Currently I prefer PhpStorm as a good IDE for fullstack frontend and backend coding.
Here is a screenshot collage of PhpStorm with my three favourite themes (I prefer to switch light and dark themes depending on the surrounding light), Sakura terminal, and the Ubuntu Budgie launcher which brings some MacBook look and feel to Ubuntu Linux:
glad that you liked the discussion, I was able to find out about a lot of new themes, extensions, fonts, and even editors from this whole discussion, so it was definitely a good idea asking the question :)
I love your aesthetic setup, the color scheme, fonts, even the ide and terminal they're complementing each other well ❤

I edit with (g)vim on Ubuntu Linux.
My vim configuration (github.com/juanlanus/vimconfig) renders a screen of almost only lines of code, no space wasted in clickacle artifacts.
The fonts are "Source Code Pro Medium" and the beautifun "Montserrat" for proportional spacing.
I use mainly BitBucket (instead of GitHub) because it allows me to have private repos for free. I interact with the remote repos using plain command line Git.
GNOME Terminal, the Ubuntu default.
Actually, I'm old and I use vi, later vim, since like 40 years ago, in SCO Unix and later in Windows 98 (it was a 70K exe).
To me, vim is the most productive tool, the one with highest usability, because is allows me to do more work with less keystrokes more safely.
I don't confuse usability with ease to learn. To be proficient with vim you need some training, and then some more. But it gets the job done quickly; for example I seldom take my hands out of the keyboard to grab the mouse.
the last few lines are so true

Why not?
Run a program to write code, run a program to lint/fix code, run a program to compile/execute code, and run a program to debug code.
To elaborate:
:syntax offin vim)exa --iconsin the past)tmuxvimgo,cargo,node,python, ...etc.go fmt/goimports,cargo clippy,rustfmt,prettier,eslint, ...etc.gdb,delve,node --inspect, ...etc.curl,wuzz,httpie,curliejq,yq,dasel,xsvfind,ripgrep,fdddgrgit,gh,lazygit,pre-commitfzfterraform,kubectl,docker,devcontainers(from vscode)jira,gh issue,gh-i(ghextension)grep, calledgw, that allows me to store common patterns (e.g. URLs, IP addresses, ...etc) in a YAML config file so that I don't have to remember long regex patterns. This allows me to compose the functionality in any workflow (e.g. use it in tmux shortcuts, use it in other programs/scripts).gwto filter tmux buffers for any URL throughfzfand open the selected URLs in the default browser. This script is also wired up to a tmux keyboard shortcut : Ctrl-b + Ctrl-u to quickly open any url from the terminal without having to manually copy/paste.${HOME}/Projects/and a shell scriptopen-projectthat enumerates through all the projects, filter them throughfzf(command-line fuzzy finder), and open selected projects in new tmux windows. This script is wired up to a tmux keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-b + Ctrl-w to quickly open and start working on any project.And I am not excluded from enjoying modern dev-tooling, like LSP (via any number of vim plugins), auto-completion (via any number of vim plugins), or even GitHub Co-Pilot, if I want to.
And I get to bring all of this with me to any remote system, if I need to, either by
scping my${HOME}/.dotfilesto a remote server or by git cloning my dotfiles, which is convenient because all I need when I am out and about is an iPad (or iPhone) and Blink.sh to remote into my home servers, cloud servers, docker containers, or raspberry pi's.Hopefully, this demonstrated that "code editor" or "IDE" is only 1 productivity tool in a toolkit and often times it is more restricted since tweaking the behavior is limited to the product or adding new functionality/capability comes with a high barrier-to-entry.
sounds quite tedious to me as I am quite used to using editors, though I occasionally use vim too, I agree with your last statement though, in the end they are just a productivity tool and depends on the editor itself to how much extent it can be customized/configured according to the user's wish.
I certainly didn't start out my engineering career with Vim. I started with Atom, then Sublime, then VS Code, then IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.
What led me to Vim was not Vim itself, but it was the flexibility of the terminal and how easy it was to compose programs to create new functionality and workflows that allowed me to be more productive than I was.
Slowly, over time, I started doing more in Vim and less in VSCode/IDEA.
Slowly, over time, I started creating scripts, CLIs, programs that improve my workflow and productivity.
It's fine if anyone prefers Code Editors and IDEs over text editors.
My goal was to demonstrate that coding without a code editor or IDE is somewhat imaginable.
Yes, I totally got your stand here, even I want to get deep into vim as its extensibility and customizability is literally endless.

On Windows, Windows Terminal with PowerShell and Oh-My-PoSh. WSL is ZSH with ohmyzsh with Powerlevel10K. Linux (my personal laptop) uses the default terminal from Pop with the same ZSH/OMZ + p10k setup.
Tend to use Fira Code for my editor and Meslo for terminal.

Editor: Crimson Editor (2004 edition, pre-Emerald Editor) and Notepad
Terminal: Command Prompt (or PuTTY when doing SSH)
I use and strongly prefer "ancient" text editors because they are: Small, fast, and have no unnecessary features. Crimson is my goto and has almost everything I need in a modern text editor without all the bloat. Let's just say that it works for me. Notepad is not really for coding but is extremely useful as a scratch pad on my second monitor to work out coherent thoughts and ideas.
I occasionally fire up Notepad++ for rare scenarios that Crimson doesn't handle well. I'll occasionally fire up vim on Linux or if I need to open multi-GB files. Can't stand most text editors for more than a few minutes of use. If an editor doesn't startup instantly or work exactly like Crimson Editor (or worse - attempts to format my code because it thinks it knows better), then I'm not interested.
I start Visual Studio on occasion when I need to dig into complex C++ debugging problems. Otherwise, I avoid IDEs like the plague. A text editor should just fill the screen and get out of the way of the developer. Everything else is a distraction and will get in the way at some point.
I don't easily get distracted while coding actually 😅, have you tried emacs though? it fits in your description of text editors 🤔
A bit late, but here's mine :
VSCode, default theme/font I think (Maybe I should get more creative!) One extension I really like is the Tailwind Docs extension. Maybe it's just because I don't actually develop in Tailwind full time, but I definitely don't have most of it memorized, so constant lookups if I'm messing around with utility class CSS is made enjoyable via the extension, which just launches the right page in the docs.
I didn't know about the extension, thanks for letting me know, checked it out and its just what I need ❤
vscodium.com/ anyone?
there was a comment about vs codium if I remember correctly.
I have it installed and on a rare occasion use it. I much prefer it to VS Code and all it's "telemetry"
Not sure how your home's drywall situation fits into our VS Code setups but ok I guess.
