Life after Eclipse
I have just realised, installing on a new PC, that Force.Com for eclipse has actually gone and this Micro$oft stuff really is being "forced" upon me.
Is there an easy guide to converting? I read a lot of long winded stuff.
All I want to do is edit files in a sandbox. Like a normal developer.
If I understand correctly you are trying to re-install force.com IDE.
The Force.com IDE is no longer available. Review below link for more details.

Hope above information was helpful.

I am distressingly aware that the excellent Force.Com plugin is no longer available and that SF promotes M$ 'Code' as an IDE.
I have read the horrendous documentation for this, which involves all sorts of repos and scratches.
I am asking if there is an "easy starters" guide available for developers who already have active sandboxes and just want to reconnect to them and edit some apex.
Or is my future full of many open tabs and web UI edtting ?

I have been studying the sfdx commands and experimenting. They seem to function happily without using any IDE.
I suspect I will write my own documentation for a sensible process.
Try to explore and also there are few salesforce extensions available in VS.
