Anyone use VS Code for Ruby/Rails? Equal or better than Atom/Sublime? I switched from sublime to atom recently but atom is slow (I know I know) and VS Code seems well regarded so willing to give it a try.

no autocomplete. c#, javascript, even python autocomplete is really amazing

Thanks from a user ;) I cannot use any editor without vim keybindings, furthermore I love "relativenumber", however VSCode gives no API for relative numbers (there is some hacky gutter images extension, but it is really hacky, slow and bad looking). I've made a fork with relative numbers built-in https://github.com/alfanick/vscode . Not going to do pull request, at least not yet - unit testing and i18n required. BTW…

Ah, you should definitely join in on our Slack. Another guy has done some similar work in a plugin: https://github.com/extr0py/vscode-relative-line-numbers

yeah, that's the extension that inspired me ;)

Do you know if there are extensions that could bring autocomplete for ruby?

You can find it under name IntelliJ IDEA.app ;)

Was working with Angular 2 code today. WebStorm: 1.2gb memory used. VS Code: 45mb. WS gives me a few bells and whistles, but I prefer Code's lightness, and that it doesn't have a "screw you I'm indexing again" mode.

I like vscode too, but that does not mean, that they are in the same weight category. Vscode is "just" an editor, while IDEA is a full-blown IDE. The original poster wanted the full Visual Studio, not vscode.

(However, for some reason, I like the code completion in python mode in IDEA more than in vscode. It doesn't feel right, like the IDEA one does.)

In terms of WebStorm, dont forget to exclude tmp folders and other generated, transpiled content folder to exclude from indexing, otherweise it will be always busy. :)

VSCode + TypeScript is an amazing experience for us poor JavaScript developers that never enjoyed proper autocomplete and refactoring in our editors. Writing JavaScript feels like writing random bash scripts with no help now. TypeScript is freaking awesome and you should start using it! :)

and some of your errors are caught before firing up a whole web app and a browser!

Now I am just a noob javascript developer, but s/some/most/ in my experience! :)

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.

I liked them about equally, but Atom is really slow on my work computer and crashes on my laptop. VSC is much more stable.

Its slowness is the main reason I switched.
