VSCodium or Code OSS are the only ones I know of. They're vscode w/out all the bloat.

Brackets has been discontinued by Adobe and is currently maintained by the community.

But it is focused on web development.

There is Vscode, Vscodiumn(Vscode but no microsoft stuff), Vim, Neovim(Basically a more extension able vim), Emacs, sublime text, or just screw it and fork atom.

Not trolling here or something. But I use Vscode now for a while and I like it a lot. Why is it not a viable option? Because its from microsoft or what is your problem with Vscode?

So do you want to only rely on Microsoft? https://news.itsfoss.com/atom-being-discontinued/ VSCode known as bloated not only that it's written under the hood of Electron but also it have telemetry, and besides, everyone have their own choices, prefers and so on.

Well... you know Atom is also written using Electron? And almost everything uses telemetry? If you are not compiling your own linux kernel, writing your own GUI or go on and use MSDOS. Everything and every company is gathering data. Microsoft is just saying that they are doing it.

But yes, I understand you.

No, I already use vscode. It's just that vscode is more IDE than text editor

I used to use it. It also got abandoned by Adobe in 2020 but the community kept it alive. The community WILL keep Atom alive.
