I am really loving VS Code. However, there are 2 big things I really need to give up Brackets/WebStorm entirely.

1) Jump to definition for plain JS. Both Brackets and WebStorm can find method definitions for any JS project.

2) Multiline searches. I use this quite a lot to find files that contain 2 terms on different lines.

Yes, building works well. But how do you run your application? (To be clear I'm asking what workflow users use personally, since it seems like nobody else has this issue.)

I am surprised at the amount of semi-negative comments here. Yes, some features are yet to be implemented, (it's still a fairly young project and you can always follow GitHub issues on progress), but for an Electron app, it's surprisingly fast and capable. The Microsoft-developed Go plugin makes it the best Go IDE out there, the devs, (Ramya Rao etc.) are super responsive and really trying to resolve issues quickly.…

I concur, the Go plugin is top notch. It even has a fantastic vim emulation plugin that works reasonably well.

This is an off topic, but I just learned from the article that PowerShell will soon be the default in place of cmd.exe in Windows 10. I welcome this change as I found the experience of using PS was superior to that of bash/zsh in general cases. But I hope they figured out the performance problem. As of writing, in the stable version of Windows 10, PS is perceptually slower than cmd, so I was forced to use PS only whe…

> the experience of using PS was superior to that of bash

As a Linux dweller, I'm genuinely curious about this one. I've found PS inferior in just about any use case.

It's nicer than Atom and almost feels as snappy as Sublime. But Vim still is miles better when you have put in the work to become proficient. MacVim works great for retina screens and high color support.

Do you have any proof that it is astroturfing and not just genuine enthusiasm? I am almost a lifelong vi user, but have been using Visual Studio Code last few months because it's Rust experience is smooth. (Though Emacs seems to do well as well.)

Just that the sentiment scores of comments blow everything else out of the water. Haven't done one in a month or two though.

Great, either show us proof or stop your accusations.

I feel so guilty using this because I did not renew my license for Webstorm. I used to love webstorm but the javascript development environment/ecosystem has come such a long way since when I first purchased Webstorm.

I used to use PHP Webstorm. Its lightning fast search is awesome, but it slows to a crawl for large codebases.

It looks pretty bad on Linux too. Somehow they managed to transport the crappy font rendering from Windows to Linux. It really feels like it's not built for Linux, but just shoe-horned in.

I'm using it on Windows and Linux, and found it pretty good. What's the issue with fonts?

Set up 11pt Consolas on a native Windows app and set up VSC side by side. It looks nothing alike.

It's a years old Chrome bug. Wish they had a Chakra version of Elektron.
