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

https://github.com/rubyide/vscode-ruby https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rebornix...

try both of them. beside some coloring, rest are bad. So I just return to rubymine :)

I do also some python and js, is quite amazing :)

For some reason I can't reply to the child comment...

I tried using rubymine for a bit as well, but I could never get it to not be slow as hell (I'm on a 2015 mbp with 16gb of ram). Tried tuning the settings a bit, turned on the fast typing config thing, still really laggy.

The one thing I was thinking was that I was also developing in a docker setup, so maybe file access was interfering or something? I haven't run a test outside of docker, so can't really verify and have moved past rubymine for now.

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! :)

Try WebStorm. I'm surprised at how few people use it, given the quality of the autocomplete and code assistance (and the fact that it works just as well with ES6 as it does with TypeScript!)

I don't say it's not worth it, but we have pretty good editors for free (sublime, vscode, atom, etc).

For neovim users, you can get something almost comparable with deoplete [1], tern_for_vim [2], and ternjs-deoplete [3]. I set this up recently and have been very happy with the results. This also supports ES6 and JSX in case you use either of those.

On this day and age many don't want to pay for tools.

Sometimes I wonder if Emacs and Vi would be so appreciated if they were commercial as well, without any FOSS version available.

I really liked Visual Studio Code, but I couldn't really use it without a Vim plugin. So over the last few months I've been working on this one: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscodevi... I think it's gotten a lot better, and if lack of vim keybindings was something that was holding you back from trying VSC, I highly encourage you to try it again!

Dang, I'm really happy you made this (event supports remapping 'esc' to 'jj' which is a must for me), but now I'm so waist deep in the atom environment that the switching costs are pretty steep. At this point the only reason I would switch is speed, and Atom is not slow enough to outweigh the switching costs for me. Great work and initiative though, maybe one day I'll switch because of this.

Do they color changed files in the sidebar now or do I still have to switch to the version control view? edit: serious question, I like the coloring of changed/new files in Atom.

No love so far

Not disagreeing but I got all I needed with Atom + atom-ternjs

And I don't even have to introduce typescript to my codebase to get surprisingly good hinting and autocomplete.

Would creating large applications in WebStorm break things if I wanted to use VSCode in the future or alongside?
