Never thought I'd run Visual Studio on my linux machine!!! Thank you Microsoft!
Not to nitpick, but VSCode is not the same as Visual Studio

Re: Visual Studio Code is now open source
#172The name of the "VS Code" product makes the title a little mis-leading. I thought the code for "Visual Studio" was open sourced. Turns out it's just this stripped down editor called "Visual Studio Code".
Code is capitalised, that's the giveaway.
Yes, but in titles most words are capitalized. If you look on the visualstudio.com page that is the case, though they're not very consistent.

#173I wasn't sure what to expect from VSC, especially going into it I was worried that it would just be a MS-branded, bloated version of an already-slow Atom.
My expectations were completely wrong, though. VSC is not bloated or slow. It's well-made. There aren't really any negative MS-flavored conventions as far as I can tell. This isn't MS Office (which I guess has its place but has gone off the deep end, IMHO). It looks like it's on a path towards becoming a pretty powerful tool, more than just a text editor, and more than just a clone of Atom.
The MS branding will unfortunately keep people away that like to judge books by their cover. But that says more about their own problems and unwillingness than it does about MS.
I don't understand why we have to throw ourselves into brand "camps" and defend them to the death. It's dumb. I like Linux, I use an assortment of operating systems depending on my needs, and I don't see any reason why a decent effort/product can't be appreciated, no matter what company produces it.

#174Seems like an Atom fork. And the amount of people who are hardcore Linux user but have yet to find a better IDE than vsc on this thread.
My good sir, this is way better than Atom, trust me!

Possibly after being bitten by a brand people are leery of products under that brand name?
Disclaimer: no hate for MS nor VS. I'm sure its a fine tool. I just don't need it and probably won't use it.

Carmack now uses Dr Racket.

Microsoft have never been good at product naming. Just today they renamed 'Visual Studio Online' to 'Visual Studio Team Services' because people thought it was an online version of Visual Studio. They need a VP of Product Names, someone that actually cares what their products are called. '.Net' for example is a stupid name because it is practically un-googleable.
I searched for ".net" (without quotes) in several search engines, some of which I have never used, and the first page is only results for Microsoft .Net.

#180I really hate how MS names things. Microsoft SQL Server, or as most people call it SQL Server. I read the title to this post as Visual Studio code is now open-source - but it's not. The product some genius called Visual Studio Code has been opened. I'm really surprised Windows isn't called Microsoft Operating System, or Operating System for short.
I partially blame the title. Why does it capitalize normal words in addition to the product name?
Had the title been "Visual Studio Code is now open-source" it would've been more readable IMO.
It also helps to be familiar that VSC is a product.
