Requesting recommendations of 100% (from code repository all the way to distribution) open source editors and/or IDEs for most if not all one's web development needs, and importantly, WHY you use it over any other open source options.
In a nutshell, this stems from me beginning to see just how important open source is now as well as how important it is to preserve and expand it into the future. I'd like to do my work on tools that I could potentially directly contribute to in the future and at least give feedback to now, among many other reasons.
To be clear, I'm not looking for a philosophical, what is or isn't open source, debate, or any debate at all.
But to clarify for the sake of accurate recommendations to this specific topic:
I am personally not satisfied with the "open source" nature of many projects purporting to be open source, and I find myself not being excited for how advanced any of these IDEs may become because of their amazing proprietary telemetry among other things.
So, that is where I'm coming from and what I'm looking for so please school me (and whoever may also find this useful) on any and all completely open source options for editors and/or IDEs as well as any crucial peripheral tools (e.g. there are some extensions that essentially MAKE VSCode useful and even ideal for certain types of development).
I haven't found a thread exactly like this in my search so hoping it could be useful.
Thank you ahead of time to anyone that shares.
