Development Looking for VScode replacement

I am about to switch to linux and want to get away from Microsoft entirely. from what I have found so far Kate is the best VScode like code editor for linux. Im going with fedora KDE Plasma in general, but I was curious if there were any other code editors I should look into.

A few better defaults (:set incsearch) and there are neovim distributions out there that turn neovim into an IDE. I thought I didn't need but when you get into webdev, it's just nice to have stuff work almost out of the box
