Use TextEdit for .txt and .rtf, and get Sublime Text, VS Codium, or any of the other bazillion IDEs out there until you find one you can tolerate. Helix does that for me. (:

Which aspects about it do you dislike?

I’m asking since for most everything – except maybe the fact it’s Electron-based – there’s an extension, or the behavior can already be altered in the settings.

Also, IDK how your workplace handles application management, but if you have any freedom as a developer (if that is your role?), make sure to get a package manager, presumably Homebrew or MacPorts.
Brew especially isn’t perfect, but brew install <name> handily beats out any installation method containing the words “App Store” or “Browser download button.”

You have to apply some (from time to time well-hidden) tweaks to macOS until it becomes usable. :P

I hate it so much I'm not even getting into that.

Out of curiosity, what IDE do you want to use and which one are you stuck with?
