are there any good open source alternatives for VSCode for people that don’t want to learn emacs/vim? I’ve been looking for a good code editor to replace it but I haven’t been impressed elsewhere
There is always Eclipse IDE. It’s not as polished as Jetbrain’s apps for sure but it’s still very capable. It’s published under the Eclipse Public License. I think the language server code that’s used in VSCode is from Eclipse, it can be used for developing many languages and there are lots of plugins and other add-ons to enhance the experience.
Not OP, but everything? It’s a far more complete solution with far more capabilities. It can be compared to full VS, not Code, IMO.

I think VSCode(ium) is the OSS alternative? If you want OSS, it’s the way to go.
