What, if any, alternatives to VS Code do you recommend? I think VS Code is a pretty great editor, but I have some objections to it which have been stacking up for some time now, and I'm looking for something that could potentially replace it.

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them! Here are the things I'm currently prioritizing:

• Fast (read "not an Electron app"), preferably relatively small memory/CPU footprint.
• Not owned by Microsoft
• Excellent out of the box language support for many mainstream languages, or a plugin ecosystem which has plugins to that add support for those languages
• Smart refactoring tools (sometimes find and replace isn't good enough)
• A strong plugin ecosystem. I like to make use of advanced debugging tools when they are available. Also, good plugins can go a long way toward quality of life features.

Alternative's I'm considering

I have tried or looked into a few alternatives, but I'm not sold on any of them yet.

• Lapce. Seems solid, but the plugins often seem like they are out of date and there's no way to tell whether they are except by trying them out. Also, even though Rust has good language support, I've found some of the other language support to be lacking.
• Emacs. I've been hearing about Emacs lately, so I'm considering looking into it in more depth, but I haven't yet. I guess have two main concerns with Emacs: 1) I'm not sure how many advanced features it offers because I'm not sure what it's plugin ecosystem is like, and 2) How good is Emacs' Windows support?
• Zed. I'm really excited about this option as it seems very promising, but I only use Windows and Linux 😥
• Vim/Neovim. These tools have been around for a long time and are pretty performant according to my understanding, but from my experience, they don't seem to have many features beyond syntax highlighting, and I'd prefer more advanced features.

I'd love to hear any suggestions from the community! Also, if you have any thoughts about the editors I've already tried, I'd love to hear those too!
