Saying Micay has stepped down is big assertion, since they could be pretty much anyone coding for the project (I mean, having an alias). It’s a matter of trust and if I cannot trust them to do what they say, I still trust the community behind the project.
That’s why I ended up flashing GrapheneOS. I did try CalyxOS, but couldn’t find any real value compared to LineageOS (besides, maybe, network authorization) when it comes to apps installation and behavior. I’m happy with the settings of GrapheneOS, and I’ll see how the situation evolves to decide if I keep it or not :). I have no doubt that if Micay stays around, we will hear bout them in no time.
IDEs like VSCose are only powerful because they integrate coding tools like LSPs and completion enginea. Those tools are also available on neo/vim or Emacs, so you can be as proficient as you were with VSCode. Hell, even GitHub’s Copilot is available on vim!
And frankly, having started coding on Atom before switching to neovim, I find a keyboard centric, mode-based coding much more efficient than a usual mouse-centric workflow.
It really boils down to personal preference, but I’m eager to find some objective arguments proving that “vim is outdated when it comes to ease of use”, because that’s not what I experienced.
