After about 20 years of Eclipse IDE I have decided to gradually switch to Visual Studio Code. Planing to adopt new keybindings as well. As an alternative, I have started playing with @neovim. Stack Overflow developer survey 2023 (I'm surprised by notepad++ popularity, though I use it too):
If you're also learning vim: VSCode + vscodevim = life (literally how I make a living)
I wish you the best, but VSCode's java support is pretty terrible. I keep checking it periodically, hoping it's better...
Why do you feel it's terrible? I did Java in VSCode for my previous job and I thought it was pretty decent.
