I think using Positron is growing on me. Some of the keybindings are not intuitive (like commenting code), but the #RStats completion and LSP works better than my #Emacs setup when I'm using my #Guix time-machine.
Positron was very bad, but since version: 2026.07.1 build 5 (Code - OSS 1.118.0) many of those rough edges are resolved.
I just wish Posit (npub1e58…ey66) was releasing it as Flatpak or snap as well.
