Visual Studio Code alternatives for Linux? (lemmy.ml)

While I understand the lack of proper open source alternatives for some software like AutoCAD and After Effects, it always felt weird that the best IDEs/Text Editors are made by big corporations, because you know, these are the tools programmers use.

I tried vim/neovim, which I enjoy using, but I've come to prefer visual editors instead of text based. Kate looks promising, and I'm willing to contribute to it in my free time, but it just has that "amateurish" feel to it that I can't explain.

Anyone aware of other alternatives?

I've used Atom for years and rarely had issues. Maybe a specific plugin was causing you a problem? Either way, I'd say give Pulsar a try if you like that type of interface.
