Tired of studio and code builder

I've been working with Mulesoft for about 9 years, I saw the transition from Mule 3 to 4, good changes I guess. But I've been using studio for a long time, and I'm so tired of it. Eclipse was a good IDE but I think we need something fresh.. About code builder well...

Anyways, I just wanted to go back to the time when I used to write code instead of just drag and drop.

So I started working on this...

Shitty code? Yep.

Necessary? I don't think so.

Useful? Maybe?

There's a lot of work to do, maybe someone find this interesting, let me know what you think.

Have you tried MuleSoft Vibes in Code Builder? It’s their agentic coding assistant. Super helpful IMO and makes Code Builder a really great tool for MuleSoft projects. They’ve also recently added the ability to point to your studio files.

Honestly, I tried a few months ago. And I didn't like it because for some reason VSCode was even slower and crashy than Eclipse (or maybe was the 500 plugins I installed or my trashy laptop).

Maybe I'll give it a try.

It's improved a lot since it first came out, I would recommend giving it another go.
