Still no CLI mode for editing text. Vim has had this for years. How am I supposed to integrate this behemoth into my work flow if I can't even run it in a terminal? It's just too clunky for my taste. It's also hilarious that Atom gets shat on for data collection when no one cares that VS does it too. Microsoft can do no wrong, only OSS projects have standards to live up to.

You're asking for VS Code to be a completely different product. VS Code is a GUI text editor like Sublime and Atom. There's no reason for it to run in a terminal. Vim and Emacs are classical CLI based text editors. Are you asking for an alternative to those?

I guess it's not Textmate VS Sublime Text anymore. It's VS Code versus Atom. While it's always good to have some competition, I also hate it to see awesome features present in one, but not the other. Well, if I'd have to pick one (and actually the only one that kept me with Sublime for this long), it would be speed.

I absolutely love how VS Code generally feels more native, performant, and polished than Atom, but lack of a good VIM mode is keeping me away right now. Hopefully the author of VIM Mode in Atom, makes a VS Code plugin.

There is an extension for vim mode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscodevi...

There are several actually, with different subsets of Vim. Sadly, none are as good as Atom's.

> Can we build a code editor fast enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re typing in a browser? Is this a jab at Atom? I like this.

Funnily enough I just installed VS code and there is lag as I type things in. Also bad font rendering compared to the rest of my interface.

First you say:

>completely different product

then call them both

>text editors

emacs and (g)vim have a gui mode.
