Here's a good test: Do you want a text editor, or do you want something that's close to an IDE? Atom/VS Code exist to be IDE-y, not as thought experiments on text editors in the browser. Their advantages are in the ease of developing extensions and tools that aren't part of the core package. The difference is similar to Vim/Emacs. Of course Vim has some IDE-y plugins, but they're rarely as rich as what ends up gettin…

Choppy scrolling is a high price to pay for an IDE in my opinion.

It's definitely not choppy on my machine. There must be something wrong with your configuration. I would suggest to submit an issue on GitHub.

This might sound like a weird question, but after a lot of search I found no keyboard shortcut to toggle between the editor and integrated terminal. It sound like a I'm picky but it's a bit of a timewaster to have to pick up the mouse just to switch from editor to the integrated terminal. A most I could use an external terminal window but that kinda defeats the purpose of having an integrated one I think. Is there su…

What you're really looking for is exactly 1 shortcut: cmd+shift-p (or ctrl-shift-p, depending on the platform) for the command palette, where you can fuzzy search for every available command. If a command has a keyboard shortcut (toggle terminal has one), it's in that list. It even shows your custom shortcuts.

Thanks for the feedback. I had assigned a different shortcut to "ctrl+`" so I was getting a different result that toggle.

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 ex…

We're very committed to fight bloat, as with any large software project its always a risk so please help keep us honest

VSCode is awesome. You are doing an excellent job!

Please keep up the good work, it is very much appreciated.

I don't know, every time I see a new release of Atom or VS code and people praising it in comments I go ahead and download it and open the project that I am currently working on in Sublime for side by side comparison. And what strikes me most is how smooth Sublime is compared to Visual Studio Code or Atom (at least on my mac, I dont know about windows experience). Scrolling is much slower in VSC and searching through…

VS Code, at least on Windows, doesn't have smooth scrolling enabled. Is that what you mean by choppy? It's definitely bad UX, lines just jumping around. I haven't found a way to enable it (very quick google told me nothing either).

While this editor really attracts me, (it has that Emacs-y vibe, where it integrates many external tools in nice cohesive interface) I still cannot overcome that it is still basically an electron app. Atom is just a no go, despite all the candy looks and nice little plugins, I cannot justify energy and memory usage. I heard VSCode is totally different story, but I have yet to find js developed desktop app that doesn'…

The time it took you to write that you could already have downloaded it and given it a go. Why waste our time to convince you?

Why so salty? You don't have to waste time at all, not even so to comment on my post.

Did they ever fix the DPI scaling issues?

It works okay on my X1 Carbon, but it's still not perfect because the interface font size cannot be changed. That means you have tweak your editor font size and zoom factor to get a good result.

I don't have any scaling issues on my Win10 4k 175% scaling setup. But unfortunately text rendering is still blurry compared to native editors due to the underlying Electron/Chromium renderer. Hope this will get resolved soon :'( https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/1896

I guess that's what they meant. While the scaled-up result has the correct size and avoids other artifacts of broken high-dpi rendering, it's, well, blurry.

However, I suspect that this is more a Chromium/Electron issue than one for VS Code and other applications built like that. Heck, not even Chrome scales properly on high-dpi displays, which is pretty poor in my eyes.

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.

jaredpar's VsVim will give you that in Visual Studio.

True, but VS is not open source and doesn't run on Linux.
