Only reason I am still using Atom is flow support that comes with Nuclide. I know VS code has a couple flow plugins as well.. Can anyone compare Atom's flow support with VScode?

I wish I could comment as to nuclide or similar. tbh, for me it's a really glorified editor, but I find the integrated terminal windows invaluable... I usually do all my git/npm/run commands in the terminal.

I also find the everything via command palette a little distracting, as I wouldn't mind seeing better UI integration for some extensions.

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…

That is awesome, thanks for removing one of my pain points.

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!

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).

I like to use VSCode to open C# or web.config files, basically any .net related file since its pretty quick and you get all the highlighting.

I'm pretty impressed as well. I'm using as a IDE/debugger for Python code and running under Linux, and works very well. The debugger is not as solid as PyCharm, but the editor is certainly better.

It became my second go-to editor, right after Sublime. Kudos to Microsoft for releasing as a free tool, and multi-platform.

Visual Studio Code is an oxymoron -- there isn't anything visual about it. "Visual" in Visual Studio use to mean UI widgets you can drop onto a form or some layout grid.

VS code has changed the way I feel about the editor landscape. It's been good for a while but the past three months have made it GREAT!

If you've not experienced writing type script in vscode, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's amazing

Good plan, I'll have to set it as default app for code files. VS is SOOOOOOOO slow when it's not already open.
