I’m particularly curious about the state of free editors one is likely to stumble upon when getting started with GNOME (gedit), KDE (kdevelop?), and other “mainstream” desktop environments.

Thread inspired by the neat talk @tsyesika gave at FOSDEM:

(I’d have included VSCode in this section but realized it has non-free parts that appear to be difficult to tear apart?)

@civodul @tsyesika VSCode is hugely popular, Stack Overflow had it at 70% developers use it (2024 survey). It's hard to even internalise that level of popularity!

It's not really an editor, in much the same way that Emacs isn't. And some of the tech like LSP is now hugely influential.
