Available from here: Download Visual Studio Code

AsciidocFX - this is a format specifically designed for editing asciidoc, which is the basis of Skillgo. Its advantage is that you can achieve a lot of asciidoc formatting in it using their quick menus. Its disadvantage is that it can freeze up on videos.
