As a non-expert programmer (and with even less knowledge of pros/cos of different editors), I'd like to see editor sub-forums for most of the popular editors used in the AHK community. This would be massively helpful for relative newbies to see their options, and would make it easier (not necessarily 'easy') for the same to understand what each editor offers. I get the point made by others that the current editor sub-forums show editors written in AHK. But if I understand correctly being written in AHK is not a formal criteria for an editor sub-forum (and if it is, perhaps it shouldn't be)?
I've just started using VS Code and am thrilled with it. But I started with Scite4ahk and then tusseled with AHK Studio for a while. All the while not really knowing what VS Code was about. But I was prompted by a recent
@Joe Glines trail (thank you) for an upcoming event exploring VS Code, to roll up my sleeves and take a look at VS Code ahead of this. Couldn't be more pleased. Should have started with VS Code way back when, but it looked so daunting (and still is!).
So, obviously

, I'd like to see an editor sub-forum for VS Code. But also for any other popular editors that might be used in the community. Tho I totally get the point that too many sub-forums might be a problem. But, realstically, how many commonly-used editors are there (I might regret asking this
![Crazy :crazy:](./images/smilies/icon_crazy.gif)
)? Perhaps an editor-usage poll would be useful?
Thanks for reading.
