VSCodium
VSCodium is a ready-to-install version of the code editor behind Microsoft's Visual Studio Code, built without Microsoft's branding, tracking and license terms. It is for programmers who want VS Code's editor from fully open-source downloads.
How hard it is to start using it. Easy: install it like a normal app, or use it in your browser. Advanced: you run it on your own server, use the command line, or it is a tool for developers.
