What are Text Editors for Visual Studio Code?
Text editors are software applications that allow users to create, edit, and manipulate plain text files. They are essential for writing and editing code, documentation, notes, and other types of text-based content. Text editors typically offer basic features like syntax highlighting, search and replace, and line numbering for developers, as well as more advanced features like version control integration, autocomplete, and code folding. While simple text editors allow basic editing, more advanced versions are widely used for their versatility and customization options, especially in programming and content creation.

Atom
GitHub
Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on Electron, and based on everything we love about our favorite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration. A text editor is at the core of a developer’s toolbox, but it doesn't usually work alone. Work with Git and GitHub directly from Atom with the GitHub package. Create new branches, stage and commit, push and pull, resolve merge conflicts, view pull requests and more—all from within your editor. The GitHub package is already bundled with Atom, so you're ready to go! Atom works across operating systems. Use it on OS X, Windows, or Linux. Search for and install new packages or create your own right from Atom. Atom helps you write code faster with a smart and flexible autocomplete. Easily browse and open a single file, a whole project, or multiple projects in one window.Starting Price: Free -

Desech Studio
Desech
Desech Studio is a free modern no code visual html/css editor which enables you to import your Figma, Sketch, AdobeXD design file to generate a clean html structure positioned with CSS grids. Then you can integrate it with React, Angular, Vue or Material Design. This is a product that I have worked on for quite some time and I'm excited to show it to the world. Desech Studio will always be free, with offline support and privacy conscious. Future plans are to integrate with Wordpress, and then implement features that will allow you to not need design software, and just design your application directly in Desech Studio.Starting Price: €9.99 per month -

VSCodium
VSCodium
Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking. The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. Telemetry is disabled. Note for Mac OS X Mojave users, if you see “App can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software” when opening VSCodium the first time, you can right-click the application and choose Open. This should only be required the first time opening on Mojave. The most up-to-date information on migrating from Visual Studio Code and other quirks you might encounter are documented. -
