What part of the IDE's is slow and clunky. Is it just startup you're talking about or other parts? I'm a heavy Intellij user as well as vi user and, apart from startup, don't notice any speed differences.
When you've got 10 subprojects open and every few new lines of code you save your file, resulting in a build triggering a cascade of plugin actions and more than a few seconds of mouse spinning, then yeah IDEs are slow and clunky. When my IDE stops working one morning because yesterday's system crash resulted in a plugin being unable to load properly and subsequently peppering me with dialog boxes or worse, crashing…
Have you considered disabling some of those plugins? the functionality they give you is not worth the performance hit. Using an IDE does not mean you can't use the terminal at all.

That is fine, I think it is great that IDEs exist for easy editing and debugging. But power users will always exist in the programming community. These people will naturally use Vim and Emacs because they support the customization levels needed for complex programming workflows.
In my experience novices have an easier time learning programming with an intuitive IDE, but experienced users use whatever makes the most sense given the task at hand, which in many cases might also be an IDE. They're just different tools with different pros and cons, and each of those pros and cons are weighted differently depending on what you're trying to accomplish. Very few programming workflows are so complica…
One thing that is not immediately obvious about vim (or evil Emacs) is the gamification part. Before I switched to Spacemacs myself, I used to think -- why do those vim guys torture themselves using an old deprecated tool. Now I actually find it fun to edit text or code and think of how much everyone else is missing :)

Intellij is an absolute beast of an IDE (in both senses, it's amazing and huge). I haven't loved working with a tool so much since Delphi 6, it has plugins for everything I want to do, they work really well, I can have a project open and use multiple languages seamlessly, it's extremely customisable. It's right up there with Linux in my "tools I wouldn't want to live without" category. That said as a lightweight alte…
The only bad part about Jetbrains is that no matter how much i've tried i can't use a text editor without feeling crippled. A big factor is probably that I started programming using Jetbrains tools (except some c++ in codeblocks before that). It's so awesome everything else just sucks. The problem is when i want to try some language that is not well supported by IntelliJ. No matter how cool the language is i get frus…
I know what you mean, I started programming back in the 80's as a kid so I spent about a decade without anything that looks like a modern IDE and since then I've used nothing but IDE's, I can live without an IDE but I seldom want to, it just suits my programming style.

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, and both have non-terminal interfaces." I don't need an instruction manual to figure out how to close VSCode.

To close GVim, you click the 'x' in the upper right/left corner, like any other window.

Googled part of this for you: >Why not just set up atom to use your existing corporate proxy? "Many of these text editors support proxy servers, but none of them that I have tried support NTLM for authentication and if your corporate proxy is using NTLM they simply cannot connect to it. Or lets say not directly! Actually the only solution I have found is to use a software called CNTLM that can act as a proxy server i…
I thought they were, but the simple installation of the column select mode failed with a message of missing compiler. I don't want to delve inside my editor internals. The first difficult thing is to discover that I have to install the sublime-style-column-selection package. So it failed and didn't researched more.
Coffeescript compiler?

Re: Visual Studio Code 1.0
#239EDIT: Ok, forget it, I just have to press Tab twice.I thought it was strange that they launched an editor without that feature.
Original Post:
I like working with VS Code, although I'm just starting out.
But one thing bugs me: Is there a way to get VS Code to automatically complete the tags and add the closing tags?
I know about intellisense, but I fail to activate something like autocomplete. I know about Intellisense, but I'd like something that, for example, just fills in when I am writing I know some other editors have that feature and I know it got disabled in VS Code because of problems - can anyone elaborate and explain why?
Re: Visual Studio Code 1.0
#240Does VSCode 1.0 still come with the tracking and analytics (phone home stuff) that cannot be turned off?
The second sentence in the first paragraph suggests they are actively performing some form of tracking.
> Today, we’re excited to report that more than 500,000 developers actively use VS Code each month.
I've come to expect Microsoft is just going to do that, and it needs to be accepted if you want to use their stuff. Fighting against it is a recipe for a headache. Unfortunately (or fortunately) this editor is great for Typescript and that's my passion.
A competitor should show up in this space and make me even happier.
