I've been a VS Code user for years but I keep hearing great things about other editors. Neovim seems to have a huge following, and the new wave of AI-powered editors is interesting too.
What are you all using, and what made you switch (or stay)?

Neovim all the way. The initial learning curve is steep, but once you're fluent, nothing else feels as fast. I spend all day in the terminal anyway.
Same here — Neovim with LazyVim. It took me about two weeks to get comfortable, but now I can't imagine going back.
I'm a VS Code person too. The extension ecosystem is unbeatable and the built-in Git integration is great. I've tried switching but always come back.
I use RubyMine. Yes, it's heavy and it's paid, but the refactoring tools and Rails-specific features save me hours every week.
Zed has been my daily driver for the past few months. It's fast, looks great, and the multiplayer editing is handy for pair programming.
