Awesome work VSCode team!! I can't figure out how to enable TypeScript auto import - is it hidden behind a flag? Coming from IDEs, I've been waiting for this feature for a long time.

There's an extension for that, search for typescript in the extension list.

Nice! Some really great additions in this release. I'm particularly excited by the official Linux repos and keybindings in the file explorer.

Great work VSCode team! I'm continually impressed with each release.

What is the long term value to Microsoft for VS Code? It is definitely improving their image within the web development community, and I imagine it is also winning them favor with Go developers.

Have people noticed a network effect after using VS Code? Are you getting sucked into the rest of the MS ecosystem at all?

A minimap! This was one of the last remaining Sublime features that I missed.

Can someone explain the attraction of the minimap? It's something I turn off in any editor.

I can't rely on a postage stamp size picture of my code being unique enough between different parts of a file -- beyond perhaps the imports/constants/macros at the top, which you don't need help finding anyways.

ctrl-f or 'go to definition' has been enough.

I used vs code to play around with typescript, which led me to check out the bot framework. I then built a prototype bot for work, showed it to my boss, and got the time to turn it into a product whose primary interface is skype. That product uses the luis natural language service, which we now pay for on azure. So, at least for me there was a strong network effect.

The extension is very low quality. TS2.2 shipped support for auto-importing missing dependencies, and VSCode mentions in this release that they support it. My hope is that this blessed implementation is better than the Auto Import extension.
