How does VS Code compares to Atom? If I'm not mistaken they're both written in Electron, right?
It supports Unicode BOM correctly. Looks like this STILL is a long standing issue for Atom.[0]

#92I 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 agree, and like a child comment here, used to switch back and forth between other editors(sublime, atom) and Microsofts push to win developers is working.
Huge swathes of code released, azure implementing innovative things around blockchain-- not to mention the linux offerings & other oss plugins. Even porting out powershell as well as bash integration, chakra ect.
To touch on the parebt comment, the vscode editor is one of the MS products i use most often and am most familiar with. The release cadence; compared to the very similar Atom editor, is much different in philosophy.
Atom was first(i think it even came out before vscode) to have all of the features desired in aneditor. They came at the high price of horrible petformance and a wildly unstable product.
Vscode team knew everyone wanted tabs, but they worked releasing tons of things in parrallel and rolled tabs out when they worked properly.
I wouldnt say MS has won my trust, but this product has. I trust the editor will behave as expected and continue to offer awesome plugins and a greT ecperience. I can't afford to have my editor lag snd crash, as well as overwrite or delete data.
Vscode is pretty great and has virtually everything I need with only very minor things.

#93I've recently switched to VS Code full time for C# and Python development and I couldn't be happier. While I miss some of the more intelligent intellisense from full VS, I love that I can do all of my dev on OS X. Its integration with .NET Core makes my life easy; really can't complain at all.
Really, for c#? I assumed that the type-inferencing in and extension methods would make proper IDE support of C# on a "light" platform like vscode impossible. How do you manage your vcproj file?
Both VS and VSCode use the Roslyn compiler to provide IDE functionality. https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn

#94Earlier quoted context omitted.
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…
Hi! I'm one of the core developers of VSCodeVim. Shift-Y and Shift-P absolutely work for me, so please report on our issues page if they continue to not work for you: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues I would also be really interested to hear about the other holes that you're running into. Always trying to make a better Vim experience for you :)
I don't wish to derail the thread, but while I have your ear: is there any hope for using the neovim over its msgpack interface instead of implementing vim bindings from scratch?

Sounds about right. More broadly said, a linter shows things that you should fix.
Thanks. That cleared things up. Wikipedia can be confusing sometimes.
In general a linter is a syntax checker, and usually one that tries to flag code quality issues well as illegal syntax (e.g. "don't declare a function in a loop!").

#96I switched from Atom to Visual Studio Code for my new project (TypeScript frontend and Go backend) and I am really impressed. Although the Go support is really good in Atom (missing a few things like debugging and jump to definition via mouse), the TypeScript support is significantly slower than in Visual Studio Code. There are few things missing Visual Studio Code though: Multiple top-level folders, customizable UI…
I love so many thing about VSCode but multiple top-level folders is a necessity in order for me to use this as my daily editor. Microsoft pls
Use the UserVoice, Luke! It's the main way they get feedback and feature requests and they seem to really pay attention to it.

I just wanted to say thanks.
A Vim with intellisense that I can step through with the debugger. I've been waiting 15 years for this.

#98Now MS just have to seamless integrate their Ubuntu Bash filesystem with the Windows filesystem so I can create files in VSCode and access then in the ubuntu shell. They will build the best dev environment.

The VS 15 Community debugging feature is incredible as well.
Re: Visual Studio Code 1.6
#100I moved to VSCode 2 month ago, after 6 years with Sublime. Really happy so far. Their team does an amazing work. If interested, this is the list of extensions that I use for JS development: - Eclipse theme (a theme with a decent color scheme for ES6+, JSX and Flow types) - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tdtp23.e... - Nomo Dark Icon Theme (icons) - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa…
This is very helpful, thanks!
