#212Or maybe you are part of VSCode's epic astroturfing campaign? Sorry, not saying you are but man MS is guerilla marketing VSCode like I've never seen in an opensource developer product.

#213I've been gradually finding myself using vscode over atom more and more, but the thing I consistently miss are Sublime-like shortcuts like Ctrl+D to duplicate a line or Ctrl+Click to add a cursor.
It's an extra key press, but ctrl-c copies the current line if there's no selection; then ctrl-v pastes it in front of the next line.
Alt-click adds a cursor. :)
Also, alt-up/down adds cursors above or below the current cursors.

#214How to do search within search? E.g. I look in my src/ for json, but I get 50 results. In Sublime the result is a file so I can cmd+F it. Not sure how to do it here though.

Are you confusing VSCode with Visual Studio? VSCode is not an IDE, it's an editor, much like Atom.
Vscode is an IDE. It integrates all your development into one environment. It comes with support for version control, code editing, task running, and debugging all from one application.
Microsoft is smart not to call it an IDE. As that would drive hipsters away.

#216This 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…
On that note if you are a .NET developer you owe yourself to learn PS and how to write cmdlets, it's such a powerful and easy way to expose a CLI for your .NET app compared to stdio and command line arguments parsing - it's incredibly powerful and trivial to do. Unfortunately most .NET devs are programmers who grew up with VB, RAD and GUI tools they don't understand the value of exposing UNIX like small functionality…
I'm a .net developer, I still install cygwin/bash on my computer because I can write stuff quicker and better. PS get's incredibly verbose for anything non trivial. I learned powershell long before bash too.

I didn't try vim plugin but in general, no vim plugin is substitute for vim.
If you mostly just want the memorized shortcuts to work, they tend to work OK in VSCode, Atom, IntelliJ and even Emacs - Spacemacs is even a better ViM for some.
As someone who did a fair amount of hacking in vimL, evil-mode is a drastically improved vim. It gets basically everything right, out of the box, and extending it isnt nearly as painful as using vimL or interacting with vim's Python API.

> It gets basically everything right, out of the box
Custom bindings don't work on the default document. That's a pretty big failure right out of the box.
And I still prefer vimL to lisp, it's the php of editor extension languages. It's not great for big plugins but ok great to slap things together quickly.

Then it is an European regional anomaly, because I have seen it in other countries that I visit regularly (southern Europe). On the other hand, speaking about regional anomalies, I almost never seen Chromebooks on sale, or people using them. Yet they apparently sell like hot cakes in US.
Can confirm that this is the case here in the UK as well.
It is also the case in Australia, based on my experience Windows tablets are at least as common as Android ones. If it's a regional anomaly, that has to be a very wide region then :-)
Jokes apart, I have noticed that in developing countries (I regularly visit Thailand for example) Android tablets are still more common than Win 10 ones, I believe it's because in those countries many people were first exposed to computing in the form of a smartphone, so they prefer a mobile OS like Android, whereas in the western world most people (except perhaps very young people) were accustomed to use a personal computer long before they even had a smartphone.
