What if I want a simpler IDE for Julia?

That’s fine. Vim and emacs are there for those who prefer it and I don’t expect long time users to switch. The editor wars have been raging for decades and will continue on with no resolution :smile:
But in terms of (search) popularity VS code beats vim/emacs/atom and in fact it’s the only one that’s growing. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=%2Fm%2F07zh7,%2Fm%2F01yp0m,%2Fm%2F0134xwrk,%2Fm%2F0_x5x3g

So clearly VS code has the momentum and the others don’t.
