I think this integration looks very promising.

At least on Linux, I've tried many IDE solutions... Eclipse, Netbeans, CLion, Code Blocks, Anjuta, KDevelop... from all of them I've found more the most success with CLion. But my use case doesn't really go beyond what this list of features are.

... except for the build system. No mention of CMake in the article. I think CMake support is a key feature.

I think I saw an issue or something, can't find the link anymore. If I recall correctly they were saying that build tool support is on the roadmap.

Have you tried Qt Creator? I think that is pretty decent.

It was really interesting to read that debugging was working in Linux, while MacOSX support was being worked on. Support for Windows was completely missing.

That's because while VSCode works on Windows, it's primarily aimed at people who are on OSX or Linux. Windows users have access to Visual Studio.

I don't understand what the end goal of Visual Studio Code is. It is gradually growing into a full-blown IDE, with IntelliSense, linting, refactoring, debugging, its own extensions, etc. Is Microsoft just trying to rewrite VS using JavaScript to have a cross-platform IDE instead of porting VS?

I really want to know too.

Is this just Visual Studio for JSers?

My main gripe with Qt creator is that I find it very ugly. But thats an opinion obviously
