120 is for businesses. For individual developers its way cheaper: € 59.00 /1st year, € 47.00 /2nd year, € 35.00 /3rd yr onwards. And you can cancel your subscription if you are OK with 1 year old version that you will fallback to.

My complaint was not so much about the amount, but rather for the yearly subscription. I really don't like this trend of software as subscription. If it was $120 for buying a license I would probably consider it. But $120 for 1 year use is rather high in my book.

In fact, you are paying $120 for a license and then getting a year's worth of free upgrades. After your subscription ends, you're still allowed to use that version.

I connected carussell to the crussell maintaining some fork here: https://gitlab.com/crussell/amVim as pointed elsewhere. It would certainly be possible that he contributed code to the project given that.

Shocker: when I reviewed the code for both projects, I sent fixes to the one that I found to be of high quality. Why is this surprising? And no, I'm not "maintaining some fork"--there's no way to submit patches on GitHub, and the only way to get changes in for most projects hosted there is to throw up a copy of your work as a remote for someone to pull from. My disdain for this workflow is already well-documented.

>Shocker: when I reviewed the code for both projects, I sent fixes to the one that I found to be of high quality. Why is this surprising?

Pointing it out doesn't mean it was "surprising". Just that it happened -- and as such, it could be a possible conflict of interest.

"Contributor to project X trashes competitive project Y" is a different situation than "Totally unaffiliated with X and Y person, trashes Y".

Perhaps there was bad blood between the two projects, a backstory with interacting with them, etc -- in which case it would be good to know, that's why I asked.

Now, if there were more technical arguments it wouldn't matter -- they could be evaluated regardless of who tells them --, but your comment was mostly summed to: "they are inferior quality" and "they only succeeded because they use vim's name directly", which doesn't leave much to evaluate.

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!)

When I'm on OSX I'm exclusively on Webstorm. When I switch for my personal work to Windows I mostly use VS Code. Webstorm just doesn't render the font, the IDE frame correctly. I find it either too small or big. Webstorm also doesn't use "ctr+w" to close tabs on Windows & linux while does that on OSX.

Oh is it? Apologies then, I got it wrong.

I see you haven't abused multicursors.

VS Code has support of multiple cursors. See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/editingevolved#_mu...

I remember, it was less powerful when I tested it few month ago. Went back to sublime (even though I use idea at work).

I think a comparing intellij platform to eclipse makes more sense. Why is eclipse so unintuitive? For example, why must I click ok after pushing a change to a remote git server? Shouldn't it be a toast?

The same question is even more relevant to emacs and vim. Why are they so unintuitive ?

Love vs code for Go. I dropped sublime immediately.

For some reason, for me, I have to save to get syntax highlighting and errors. Then, I have to save again to clear them. Is this just me?

I have to save to get go fmt to run, but I get colors and many most errors as I type. How odd. You could reach out to the extension's team, I hear they are responsive.

I wish visual studio code can bring in typings automatically based on different filetypes, or at least get those popular ones ready-to-go.

? You mean like detect .py files as Python? It does that already.

yes for syntax highlight it detects correctly, but for intellisense you have to install those dt~ files manually which is what I meant.
