Is VS Code a text editor? I wouldn't consider anything that has internet access permissions or a suite of 3rd party user plugins/extensions a text editor but that's just me.
Giving VS Code express permission to your home/filesystem (the default if you install it traditionally) is a security risk [0] [1] most people rarely think about.
I've not used it, because I'm happy with (neo)vim for my dev needs, but I thought that's what it did?
If VS Code isn't used to edit text, what is it for?
Edit: (neo)vim and emacs both have 3rd party extension ecosystems, with extensions written in languages that can access the internet, so I'm not sure how that affects your test?
