Ask HN: Is there editors and IDE crisis?

I have started feeling that we hit a editors and IDEs crisis. Basically, right now, we only have two big players - VS Code and Jetbrains. There also Sublime, Atom, but I don't feel they are very popular.

For me, VS Code is too buggy, at least for Go, and Jetbrains is too resource-heavy. There is new product of jetbrains, which is Fleet, but they require you to install Jetbrains Toolbox for it, which I don't want at all, and I don't feel that Fleet has an improved performance.

Now I'm back to using Neovim and couldn't be happier. What do you think is the future of IDEs and editors? Is there something new I'm missing out?
