Markdown in VS Code

Writing in VS Code
#

I recently installed VSCodium, after going through tens of markdown editors. All of them have their strong points, but I’ve found most of them lacking in features. I personally am fairly comfortable working in more advanced text editors in the console, but sometimes I just prefer working in a graphical environment.

Worth Using For Just Markdown?
#

I know, it probably sounds crazy that a die-hard Linux user like me would jump for a Microsoft product, especially for something so trivial. Well, the editor packs a lot of other useful features. If you’re just looking to edit Markdown and nothing more, ghostwriter or another editor would probably suffice. But if you want advanced editor features as well as the ability to quickly jump to different types of projects, VS Code is not a bad choice even on Linux.
