Does anyone know of a good modern FOSS IDE?
I'm trying to switch away from VSCode. I mainly use it for C++, Rust, C# with Unity, visualizing git histories, and occasionally refactoring GDScript (I usually use Godot's built in editor).

I've tried Neovide/Nvim/LazyVim and Helix, they're both really nice, but I feel like with both I'm just getting stuck constantly when I need to use a random feature I only use occasionally. Or kludging through tons of terminology and configuring I just didn't need to do with VSCode. In VSCode when I need to do something odd, there's usually a plugin for it or it just already works.

Zed seems really nice, it even has a Vim & Helix like modes, but it's pretty clear their thing is gen AI, and Co-pilot being forced into every nook and cranny of VSCode is one of the big reasons I want to ditch it.

Am I just sleeping on Kate, emacs, kakoune, or something? What else is out there? Maybe someone is working on a Godot based modal-inspired text editor? Do I just need to grind the modal editor skill curve more?
