Comment on Why aren't there that many forks of VS Code that isn't AI-related?

Microsoft is a notorious waste of time. They place no value on people over profit and they screw over everything. Most people likely just use emacs and vim for independent stuff, or whatever company junk elsewhere.

I write scientific articles with inline R code in Latex (using knitr), so I need syntax highlighting that jumps between two different languages within the document as well as spell checking and advanced (non AI) grammar tools for the text documents. Also I want something that looks kinda minimalistic and neat as a wiring interface - there is more writing than coding involved.
I’m sure there’s some wizard somewhere who can do everything I need in Emacs, but I’m not terribly sophisticated. I just want something that works. Sadly, as much as I try to avoid anything Microsoft, VS Codium is the only thing I’ve found that fits my needs in a good way.
