I always had Visual Studio for .Net development and for everything else it changed. First Notepad++, then Brackets, Atom, then Sublime Text and since 4 months it's always been Visual Studio Code.

It's nuts how fast Visual Studio Code is evolving. Good job Microsoft, developers and the community.

My only fear is that the application would become bloated, but for now it's still blazing fast. Even when i have to much extensions on :p

Edit: I'm on HN because Visual Studio is updating for the next hour probably :) https://gyazo.com/5ec738470b265531975f2aea0834d72f

What I find to be hilariously missing is drag & drop for the selected text. I tried switching to VS code a couple of days ago and realized I couldn't do such a basic thing. That and a decent FTP extension. No one wants to sync their entire project just to upload a single file. ugh.

Also the case for Atom, though? There are packages which provide it for Atom, though. Editing/uploading a single file could be handled via sshfs.

Never used atom, I use sublime. Also can't find any extension named sshfs. I don't want to install another FTP program and then open it up every time I want to make a change.

sshfs is a utility that allows you to mount a remote directory locally over an SSH connection.

I switched from _years_ on sublime (paid) to vscode in a hot minute for Go development. Awesome jump to declaration and linting. There is one thing it has trouble with and that is auto-complete from within sub-packages. Not sure why yet.

I'd like to switch from Atom but a few little niggles make me keep going back. I like how Ctrl+K has the emacs-style behavior in Atom, and there's an annoying bug in VSCod's tex mode which stops commenting and uncommenting of lines from working.

You should submit an issue with a repro: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-go Go plugin is very much actively maintained.

I have been using VS Code as my full-time editor for a few months now and couldn't be happier. Originally I was only using it for TypeScript projects, where the language integration is top-notch, but eventually found myself using it all the time. I use the vim plugin, which is surprisingly good although it does have a few issues still. The best thing about VS Code (and Microsoft's other big open source project, TypeS…

I'm currently switching from gvim to vscode and back again every five minutes, in order to use vscode's debugger --- it's gdb integration is the best I've seen bar none [1][2]. If the vim emulation was good enough, I'd switch in a moment. Which, unfortunately, it's not, for me: the biggest omission is shift-Y/shift-P for yank and paste, which I use constantly, but there's holes everywhere.

(Also, the way the vscode's autopopup thingy grabs the escape key is really annoying, but I'm sure that's configurable.)

Two minor nitpicks:

[1] I haven't figured out how to make the debugger show a pointer as an array yet.

[2] I used to use ddd. By modern standards it's pretty rough, but it's data visualiser was unparalleled brilliance. (It allowed you to lay out structures on a canvas as boxes with arrows representing pointers.) I'd love to see that in vscode.
