Not suck at plugin management
Have you tried Vim 8? One of the major updates is plugin package management. Can't say much about it, haven't upgraded yet, but the write up on it looks promising.
Have you? Or did you read the placeholder document for a version of vim that isn't anywhere near ready for general release? Because if you know where a branch or a build of vim 8 is, I'd appreciate a pointer.

I use both VS Code and Vim very heavily every day and, honestly, there aren't really any gains or losses when switching between the two. I use VS Code when I'm working in one codebase because it has a nice tree view of the files and has a pretty nice "working files" feature where you can easily switch between files you're working on (I usually have five or six files I'm working on at any given time; sometimes in Vim…
why do you prefer using tmux to edit multiple files vs using vim to edit multiple files in vim tabs?
I use byobu as a multiplexer, and I just like it's shortcuts for switching between terminals and tiling etc better than vim's tab shortcuts.
What's so exciting about this? As far as I can tell it's just a pretty basic editor. Is there anything innovative in it?
I've been writing OCaml for a while and seeing that VSCode has a pretty sweet integration for F# gets me quite excited. Is there anyone here who's running F# on Linux / OSX and can share their thoughts?

Ummm, no. VS Code is a decent editor, nothing more. It certainly doesn't transform the way code is written on Unix/Linux. Vim and Emacs are still superior if you want to put the time in, and both have non-terminal interfaces. They can also be both customized to be whatever you want them to be, there's not really a limit to their functionality except what plugins are already written. Ditto for Atom, though of course,…
>Vim and Emacs are still superior if you want to put the time >in, TBH, not every developer is willing to become a power user or interested to learn an IDE instead of the language itself. Being someone who worked on VStudio alot and now on Linux/Mac based tools, I can safely say that Microsoft tools are Developers friendly most of the time. It's good they are introducing same touch for Linux/OSX community.
VSCode has done the thing that nobody expected MS to do, change the way code was written on Unix/Linux. I love linux/unix, but the problem always was with the lack of an awesome text editor cum IDE, yep there is eclipse but it is too clunky, I do not like sublime as it isn't FOSS (call me crazy), gedit took way too much memory, geany is fast and mean but the UI sucks plus functionality isn't that great. Enter VSCode,…
How do people put up with VS Code and laggy text input though? I used it on Win10 and Linux and both occasions there is noticeably lag when typing.I look at the screen while I type most of the time and this lag makes coding impossible for me because I like to see what I'm writing in real time. I've noticed this happen especially on big projects/files. Also, sometimes the auto complete popup is very slow to appear and…
Does VSCode 1.0 still come with the tracking and analytics (phone home stuff) that cannot be turned off?
Is there such a feature now?
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.
