I think you're on to something here. For a multi-product dev company, they could (if domain still available) brand as 'without.ai' or 'no.ai' or 'sans.ai' and do 'taxware.sans.ai', 'todo-mvc

Well for git stuff or any CLI stuff, I just key-chord into the integrated terminal (or alt-tab into my terminal emulator, depending on task) and do the git commands, having the whole "git integration" thing disabled in `settings.j

Aficionados of modal editing often insinuate that one would require mouse use in non-modal editing. Yet I have always fully keyboard-operated my non-modal editors, whether VSCode in the last 9 years or previously, Sublime and others, all th

Since I found with searchable app menus / start menus that I don't ever navigate through menus but just start typing, I ditched the menu entirely and have KRunner bound to the Win key. Not only is it fine with any desktop app GTK

Goood stuff! One of my long-standing "would make if I had the time and perseverance" themes has been a terminal text editor that's hugely VSCode-like + compatible, so always glad to hear anyone going anywhere near that, and h

Yeah that seems like an area for improvement in Godot's GUI system indeed. For my stuff, I never had a need for theming, but good to keep in mind if one ever wanted to do an app shared with others. Another homegrown personal tool I had

Release build of such a Godot-built tool is between 60-70 MB. Other than that, it seems fast enough & RAM-friendly enough for the usual simple use-cases. Game engines tend toward self-optimization over time.

Godot is neat for personal tool-making where I just need a small gui with basic controls and can express the whole proggie in just GdScript (API has sufficient OS interactions for most needs), I just whip it out for those when I otherwise d

Even with JS/TS app code, instead of Electron, you can still also use Tauri afaict: just minimally get the Tauri binding up in your compiles-to-native lang of choice, and then one can still write the overwhelming bulk of the GUI in JS&

TextAdept, the most criminally-underhyped high-quality text editor that I know of, has supported LSP for quite some time now IIRC, and has (not just GUI versions but also) a first-class TUI version.
