Finally, we get hot exit. :)

+1 Now I only hope they add in hot-disk support. Sublime Text 3 checks to see if the currently opened version differs from the file system. If it does, it prompts the user to keep the current version or replace it with the disk version. VS Code just replaces the current version with the disk version and doesn't retain history so you can't undo this. I lost about an hour of work yesterday because I had a file open in…

FYI that's being tracked here https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/15749

Still waiting on docblock support or plugin for PHP, then I'm going to give it a shot. Till then I'll stick w/ sublime. Though I've been trying vim again, maybe I'll finally jump into it.. I mean I jumped into Arch linux + i3wm(tiled window manager), moving into the console for everything seems next logical transition toward becoming part computer.

You should have separated the PHP comment with the "becoming part computer". I would like to upvote just the latter.

> JavaScript improvements: IntelliSense for paths in import

Does that mean we don't need those extensions anymore?

- NPM Intellisense: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=christia...

Anybody know how many people are on the VSCode team? They're moving so fast in adding useful stuff with very few hiccups...I'm lovin' it.

About 10. From one member: "VSCode has a relatively small team compared to the size of the product" - https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/13138#issuecommen...

Makes me happy that getting rid of stack ranking allows small elite teams to now be functional.

Before, everyone would've been stepping on each others' toes because only two out of ten people would always be rated top performers and two more would be forced onto "performance improvement plans" (aka "you're about to get fired").

Sublime's updates are dismal. https://www.sublimetext.com/blog/ I had to switch to Atom just because the development is stagnant. I liked Sublime very much. But it's been 2 years already..

I wished they had this feature 2 days ago... I spent 3h writing issues in VSCode before submitting them on Github issues, then my laptop ran out of battery (and of course it was in an untitled file so it was unsaved)... I just wanted to cry.

BTW, really awesome job VSCode team :) I love what you're doing!

The Just my Code debugger support, where stepping through callbacks can just skip all the in-between functions handled by third party libs looks fantastic.

Especially with await / yield-promise type stuff, I could imagine this will make debugging much nicer.
