Neovim for me, going on 8ish years now? Tree-sitter has been a game changer for me, which is why I decided to work on tree-sitter-heex for a better experience with Phoenix Live View.
I’m interested in giving Helix https://helix-editor.com/ a shot once it is further along in development, it looks like everything I want in a modern text editor. Zed also sounds promising https://zed.dev/

Even the mere fact that you feel a need to make such a disclaimer is one more example of the weird cultishness that so often prevails in the tech world. VS Code is a tool. It can work perfectly for those who enjoy its particular affordances (and, yes, large numbers of these users ‘code all day’). As do Emacs and Textmate and nvim and monaco-in-LiveBook and probably notepad.exe and everything in between.
