Actually the C# plugin for VisualStudio Code does an amazing job supporting .NET Core (on any platform). I stopped using VisualStudio in favor of Code in regards of .NET Core development.
I think bunder's point is that VSCode is the "something that also works on linux and is consistent across all three platforms".

> some don't like the electron-based thing/performance It's mostly not liking Electron-based, performance is very reasonable for VSCode, I think. As for the end-game: it's most likely luring you into Azure. Tight integration with a proper editor/IDE might give it an edge over competitors.
One very specific performance metric is startup time, and Sublime beats the pants off VSCode in that department. Creating new top-level windows in VSCode is also annoyingly slow compared to Sublime (presumably because it's spinning up a new browser context). Other than that, it seems snappy enough.
It’s noticeable but is it really that much of an issue?

For some reason people still consider startup time a metric worth paying attention to
Engineers like to optimize everything, including how they use their time. If you've got something in your head that you want to fix or write, you want to spend time doing just that, not staring at your screen waiting and maybe losing some of your mental model.

I use VS Code most of the time, but the reason I always use Notepad for taking quick notes _is_ the startup time of VS Code. If they improved it, I'd be using it for both. It is an important metric for some.
If I need to take a quick look at a file but don't plan on actively doing a bunch of work on it, I usually open in Sublime for the same reason. Still get syntax highlighting and everything, but waiting for VS Code can be long enough to derail my train of thought.

YMMV I suppose, but I’ve never noticed the startup times, and I frequently create/close windows (I often have 2-3 at a time).

> I’m not monogamous with my code editors I’ve always wondered why some people seem so married to a single editor. Based on the file type or context I might bounce between a number of them. I used to use Sublime Text a lot, but that’s been completely replaced for me by VSCode. I use IntelliJ IDEA predominantly for Java, Groovy, Python, Kotlin, PHP. I’m not a fan of its type hinting for JS or suggestions for HTML/SASS…
For me ”marrying to an editor” is mostly about muscle memory. Onve you know all tje shortcuts, you are much more productive
You are clearly not an Emacs user.

> I’ve always wondered why some people seem so married to a single editor. I'm thinking exactly opposite. I wonder why people change their IDE's/Editors so much between Eclipse/Visual Studio/IntelliJ or between notepad++/sublime-text/atom/VScode/coda/text-mate etc. What's wrong with using vim or emacs and being happy rest of your career? It's funny so many of my colleagues kid me by saying "emacs is a great operating…
I thought only the vim users used that refrain. vim users are also unlikely to switch to a different editor.

> I’ve always wondered why some people seem so married to a single editor. Familiarity, such as keyboard shortcuts. Especially for VI(M) or Emacs users, using anything else is an absolute nightmare. If you haven't been spoiled by VIM, then there really isn't much difference between "all those other editors". :wq
