The combo of Typescript and VS Code is really well done. Transitioning from JS to TS is well supported by documentation, IDE integration and language design.

Apple once made people very happy when they adapted things and workflows that are important to Unix users. Now they're drifting away from that. Microsoft is going in the opposite direction and seems to listen to what developers really would like to see.

I still prefer using the free edition of VS2015. Maybe too stuck in my ways.

Ugh, Visual Studio != Visual Studio Code! Edit: My bad. Felt weird comparing VS to VSC, so that's the source of my confusion.

I think that's what he's saying.

I recently switch from atom, but the one thing I hate is that it doesn't save open files or folders between runs

Well done, Microsoft! So many new features again. Always happy to update and read the change log.

Code is the first editor I've used that might actually replace Notepad++ as my always-open-editor-used-for-absolutely-everything.

It does (or maybe it is 'Project Manager' extension). Try it out.

When MS gets into something, they really get into it.

VS Code has exceeded pretty much all my expectations with the pace it has been progressing at.

It does for me. I'm not using any particular extension.

The vscodevim vim bindings have improved greatly since a couple of months ago and is comparable to Sublime's vintage.

These features are still missing and are keeping me from switching completely from Sublime:

- Project wide symbol fuzzy search (cmd+shift+r in sublime)

- Read from stdin (`git show | code`)

Keymaps for Sublime and Atom

They are on a mission.
