I've been using VSCode for golang recently and it's been amazing. It just feels faster and more responsive than Atom. I love how it suggested golang plugins as soon as I started editing a go source file- and they just work! I'm hoping they add in support for multiple project folders soon [1]. It makes it a bit difficult to work with microservices since I need a few projects open at a time. [1] https://github.com/Micr…

Same, I moved from Atom to VSCode for Golang work a while back, and I'm really enjoying it.

Vim-mode works exactly as expected, and plays well with everything else.

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?

No network effect here. I'm using VSCode on a Mac to write Golang, and there's no reference or pull to any other MS products that I notice.

One option: To have full control of the user experience when people are working with Microsoft tools and technologies.

And maybe to push the whole editor market to a direction they like. A bit like what Google did with Chrome. Think about for example Typescript language service. Now they have been able to push the idea and demonstrate how useful it is. Probably this generates demand from users for other editors to add same feature.

I think VS Code is pretty awesome. But I stopped using it because the monthly update experience on Ubuntu Linux pretty much sucks...by which I mean it mirrors the Windows update experience. One day I sit down to work and it's time to update and I lose fifteen or twenty minutes plus flow state going through the process (o.k. Windows with multiple reboots is actually noticeably worse often times (like just earlier this…

Hi brudgers, I'm on the VS Code team and I look after most of the Linux related stuff. I feel your pain as I've been updating my Insiders build nearly every day for the past 12 months. When you install this version, an apt repo and signing key will automatically be registered in your system which will enable auto-updates from here on. You can also install the repo manually if you want[1]. I've created an issue to fol…

You guys are shipping consistently impressively. How many people are on the VS Code team?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Their long-term plan seems to be that Azure is going to be the best / easiest platform to host the projects they contribute to on. Therefore, their open source projects like TypeScript and .NET Core act as a funnel to drive people to Azure. I also think that they are trying to position .NET Core as a viable competitor to Java, for which they need decent cross-platform tooling.

Wait what? So I switch from Sublime Text to Azure? Where is the missing node here... How do you go from using VS Code to using Azure?

Not you, the solo developer, but maybe a team at BigCo currently running their own datacenter or a hybrid.

VSCode team is killing it! Literally every month its tangibly making the product better. I still use Sublime occasionally on really large files as its performance is so good but for most things VSCode is my go-to!

Agreed, and I am becoming quite a fan of their work and their direction.

One concern I have is that they don't make it so feature rich that it becomes slow and overly complex - or at least be smart about which features to push out to extensions.

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.

What is the "bot framework" you speak of?

I just started playing with it earlier today. I'm a long-time Visual Studio user and VSCode is good. I'll have to give it more time, but so far, I can see myself using it for stuff outside the office (work is .Net, so I'll be sticking with VS).

Can you quickly compare Atom and VSC for golang development? I've been using Atom with go-plus, and I'm quite happy with the setup. I'm wondering if there's anything I'm missing.
