#192Yet again, just like the other Microsoft announcements, this thread is filled with "greybeard" superstition and vitriol. It's to the point now where the conversations are becoming like this: "I really like this new tool from Microsoft" Samples Response: "But Linux is just as good if you install X, Y, Z and are willing to spend hours learning the intricacies of the kernel" "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" As developers,…

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.
Why spend a few hours over the course of 60000+ working hours to learn how to use more effective tools?

#195Isn't this based on Atom (or at least similar design)? It really makes me sad that people are making editors with so many features and nice things, but ignoring the fundamentals like latency. https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/ I'm eagerly awaiting a mac version of 4coder ( http://www.4coder.net/ ).
Did you actually try it?

> I can safely say that Microsoft tools are Developers friendly most of the time You only think that because you have used it and became accustomed to vstudio. As someone who has used vstudio, eclipse, atom, intellij, vim, emacs - I can safely say that vim and emacs are far more 'developer-friendly' than the others.

For example the Git integration is awesome and even better than Atom's (you can commit, push, ...). Of course you can do a lot with extensions, but at least in Atom's case they break a lot for me.
Well, okay, let's talk about that. Is having source control in your text editor enough of a benefit to one's daily routine as to be a step change of productivity or quality of life? It may be for you and I'm not saying you're wrong for that, I'm asking because it isn't for me; I have an alt and a tab key. Bear in mind that the claim wasn't that it's better in some ways , but that it's sweepingly better than the stuff…
I guess the killer feature of VS Code is multiple cursors (Ctrl+D). I only know of Sublime Text and Atom who also have this feature on Linux, not sure about Kate. Sublime Text is closed source and not gratis, Atom is slow and buggy.
