Alternatives to VS Code that aren't slop factories?

Admittedly might say a lot about my knowledge, or lack thereof, but I just can't seem to click with VS Code or Codium, for whatever reason. It just fundamentally feels too… Corporate? Not to mention how absolutely nothing works right, at least for me.

I've looked into other recommendations, like the many options that Jetbrains offers, and Zed, but both have become some AI infested cesspools (much like regular VS Code), so they're dead in the water now too.

Emacs is a nightmare, since I don't feel like spending 3 weeks to get a grip on a single program. Vim is basically just a text editor, so it feels lacking. What other options are there, at this point? At this point just a Notepad++ clone would do. And I know, "just don't use the AI"; that's not the point. Any company that willingly shoves cancer into their program, is one that I want nothing to do with.

Possible Linux logo submissions from 1996 competition

Just found this site, and I can't verify the authenticity of the submissions but it looks very 1996-y to me.

I thought it was pretty cool so I wanted to share it here!
