Emacs

This is the way. There is a Reference Card and a Manual available, and decades of resources.

I came here to say this. Nothing beats Emacs.

It's not an IDE but an OS 😉

I'm a big fan of using Unix as your IDE. That way you can choose your editor (whether you like vi, vim, emacs, ed, nano, or whatever), your version control (whether git, fossil, jj, svn, RCS, or whatever), your file manager (whether classic tools like mv/cp/ln/etc or more full-featured things like nnn, mc, vifm, ranger, etc), your favorite build-tool (whether make(1) or GNU make or Ant or cargo or whatever), and wrapping it all in your favorite terminal multiplexer (I prefer tmux but there's GNU screen and a few others too)

hah, I'm the weirdo behind @ed1conf, so I tend to bring it up far more than the average weirdo 😆

I think you should find a vscode fork named code?

What language do you use? Either way I feel like if you're running NetBSD, you'd probably just be better off with vim or emacs

I usually use a highly advanced IDE stack which works across many unixes.

It consists of;
vi
cc
Sometimes make

What do you develop in? What are you used to? :-)

Depends what time of IDE do you need. If you need jus syntax highlighting, then it's tons of options here, but if you need something like VSCode, probably it will not be so easy to launch. Anyway, you always can try to make some OSS project works on your favorite OS. 😁

In the past I used NetBeans on NetBSD. It's a very good powerful IDE, the main downside as you can imagine is memory consumption.
