@steveblue all this time later, what's your verdict? I bought Nova when it first came out, then regretted the $100 because it didn't quite support what I was doing at the time, and extensions in VS Code made it easy. It's looking much more mature now, but my license only goes back to version 7 which means I'd have to pay $50 to test the waters. VS Code's energy usage (and a few other nit-picky things) have me wanting a native editor. Well, I always want native apps but that's another conversation...

I still use Nova! Nova is a great replacement. The only feature I truly miss from VS Code is the git diff that helps fix merge conflicts, but I think a similar tool is on the roadmap for Nova.
