Microsoft and TypeScript team are doing amazing work with this editor! There are so many interesting features in it, gave it a shot few weeks ago and was really satisfied. And it is probably the first electron app that didn't feel like rest of the bunch, that are pretty much hogs and not very responsive (especially when we talk about editors and IDEs). But you know, I can't hang Emacs and Vim on the wall and leave th…

what would something 10x better than vim/emacs/vscode look like ?

I recently started doing more and more javascript font-end work as opposed to C# backend stuff. So, of course, I started with Atom. But I kept having issues with it, and ended up playing around with VS Code and loving it.

As someone who really loves the C# language, I was really questioning if I liked VS Code just because it was Microsoft. Was I some kind of Microsoft fanboy? I'm glad to see a lot of the "front end" community embracing it - it's weirdly validating to me. :)

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.

The biggest thing for me has been the consistency. They already had an amazing IDE (Visual Studio), then they buckled down and made an amazing paired-down version (VSCode). It works well, does all the things I'd want and then some. Compare to Google releasing a chat client / message handler (google voice app), another one (hangouts), taking away functionality (removing shared sms/hangouts convos), then releasing two…

What about the Surface Book?

Ah haha this is too funny, I just this morning caved from trying to have a functioning version of Ubuntu on the macbook work gave me, booted back into OSX, and spent a good 30 minutes scrolling through the VSCode keyboard shortcuts JSON, writing down the ones I was interested in relearning on post-its and lining them around my monitor. And not four hours later they release a pretty little printable PDF. Not very on t…

Looks like they also added bindings from the other popular editors so if you were using those you won't have to learn anything.

I've been using the Vim extension for quite a while and it's become fairly robust. I think it bests jVi in Netbeans.

Which vim extension in particular?
