I find it interesting that this software isn't designed with Xamarin for all platforms, but instead uses Electron. I mean I get it, the cross platform libraries are better in Electron, but it side steps their current cross platform initiative.

I switched from Atom recently and have very few complaints. One of them was the (lack of) icons in the sidebar.. the new Seti icon theme is a great addition.

Ooh and they supposedly made Cmd-P searching ('Quick Open') faster. My other main complaint!

Edit: Yep it's faster. I used to wait a second or two for the desired results to pop up, now they're close to instant.

It predates MS buying Xamarin, I think.

I love how VS Code has no problem working with large and even minified files (unlike some other “modern” editors). Every update is just icing on the cake.

Keep up the good work!
