I never understood LiteIDE, it was always extraordinarily esoteric and nonintuitive. VS Code is just fantastically better in comparison, in my opinion.

I have never heard of that, but I will share one thing I like about it as an IDE (and historically I have hated IDEs and used vim)... No config. Open a "folder", no project setup bullshit, and it remembers your work-state for each project/folder you open... And best part: autocomplete! But it is not heavy and slow. It does autocomplete per-file. So it does not need to analyse my entire project codebase, it just sees I used a word before and lets me tab to complete. So nice.

I loved LiteIDE when I used it, the VSCode extension can do most of what LiteIDE does but in a much nicer UI and control.
