are there any good open source alternatives for VSCode for people that don't want to learn emacs/vim? I've been looking for a good code editor to replace it but I haven't been impressed elsewhere
VSCode is open (MIT) but it is packaged by MS to include some tracking/telemetry and they are distributed under a non-free license.
You can use VSCodium for a telemetry free and MIT licensed binary or you are free to build the source where the default config is no telemetry and MIT license.
There is always Eclipse IDE. It's not as polished as Jetbrain's apps for sure but it's still very capable. It's published under the Eclipse Public License. I think the language server code that's used in VSCode is from Eclipse, it can be used for developing many languages and there are lots of plugins and other add-ons to enhance the experience.
