do you know of a good example, neovim maybe?

I got too used to jetbrains :(

What’s a good framework?

Jetbrains

If people don't mind clickity-clickity (mouse dependency), Zed is the best bet. Else, there is no second best to emacs.

Disagree, its amazing.

Zed is fast . Nice integration w goose too.

I use VSCodium for small projects, but JetBrains gets really good when you have to maintain large codebases. Yes, it consumes lots of ram/cpu but at the end gets the job done.

VSCode is not really an IDE, but if you are using a specific linguage and want have good tools and focusing on developing/debbuging you can use a True IDE. Example: Pytorch, InteliJ, and others.

Fun fact: I use VSCode as code editor everyday.
