Although vscode is a very impressive project, I get the impression it would prove frustrating for my use case: particularly, I am in the habit of using and hacking on my editor when I do not have net connectivity, and what this update and the last 2 updates have done is display a prominent banner in a contrasting background color saying "Error: the internet connection appears to be offline" that won't go away until I…

#132Could someone do an in-depth comparison of VSC and Atom for PHP development projects? I'd love to switch but am afraid that VSC is missing something, like the precious PHP-integrator stuff. Does it have reasonable support for Xdebug?

#133Earlier quoted context omitted.
On macOS, 9 tabs (js), 8 extensions. 55MB
Thanks. Is unix (maybe specifically MacOS) just that more efficient, or doesn't it count multiple processes?
It's not, OP didn't count the other processes in (they are listed seperatly in Activity Monitor). VSCode needs roughly the same amount of RAM on macOS.

#135A minimap! This was one of the last remaining Sublime features that I missed.
Now if we can just get Sublime-like Project folders that read settings from custom JSON (currently VSCode's #1 most requested issue on Github) I don't think there's any huge features I'll miss

#136Only 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 spent yesterday using VSCode and flow I can say that flow plugin is just as good as Nuclide.

#137What 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?
Long-long-term it is probably going to supersede regular Visual Studio, which isn't (and without gargantuan effort probably never really can be[1]) cross-platform.
[1]: more effort than bringing VSCode up to feature parity

#139A 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 tried using minimap in other editors and it just got in my way. Tick marks have always been far more useful to me. At a glance I see if there are other occurrences of a term in the entire file. With minimap, I have to scroll to find what I want.

#140I 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…
The old way, it gets downloaded, then run `sudo dpkg -i FILE.deb`. With the new PPA, just run `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. Maybe I just like the terminal but upgrading VS.code is simpler than installing other unix utils.
