Having used all three myself I bounced off VS Code hard because getting a usable Ruby setup with all the fixings like irb integration and sorbet ls was multiple days of frustration and still not working right compared to it just working out or the box with Doom Emacs. What’s the happy path that made VS Code work so well for you? I’m curious in case I did it wrong.

The ruby stuff for vscode isn't quite up to quality and I find I turn a lot of it off. I've had a good time with the fuzzy LSP https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Blinknli...

I think sorbet hasn't got the critical mass of devs using it so tooling is hit or miss. And I personally don't like it even though I'm well onboard with typescript.

What is irb integration? I tend to avoid that kind of thing and just do it in the terminal regardless of which editor I'm using.

Stuff like having code locations in irb hyperlink back to the code buffer in another window.
