I just started visual studio code on my workstation, and it took 9 seconds to display a window, followed by 2 more seconds before populating it with an empty document. Sublime was sub second startup
My low-end MacBook opens it in less than 2 seconds.
A free, powerful, open sourced editor and IDE constantly improving and growing - what's not to like? - I get that some don't like the electron-based thing/performance but it never bothered me (and I bought and use both Sublime 2 & 3) - guess it requires a degree of sensitivity that I'm not bothered with - sort of like people who claim they can't hear mp3 because they can only enjoy CD quality audio (not saying it's n…
My impression is that VSCode is partly about promoting TypeScript, and for what it's worth it has more or less worked on me. Create a "x.ts" and type some stuff; you will see error messages immediately that are roughly as good a first experience with an IDE as I've ever had. I mostly work in Python and Swift, mostly in VSCode, and I wish the support for those languages was nearly so good. I am an intermediate JS prog…
You can filter by the "VS Code tracked" label on the TypeScript issues which will give you a rough idea.

> what's the business model behind it's development. I'm too much of a skeptic to believe it's just so developers have a warm fuzzy feeling associated with Microsoft There are a couple things others touch on, but to expand on a few things: 1.

> Commit size isn't the most important number either. You can commit large chunks of memory and if you don't touch it, Windows won't allocate it; not in physical memory nor in page file. No. Short response: Try committing 1 TiB of memory without touching it and tell me how successful you are. Long response: Unlike Linux, Windows doesn't overcommit. It is completely irrelevant whether physical pages have been actually…
> It is completely irrelevant whether physical pages have been actually allocated to back the the virtual pages that are committed It is in fact the only relevant thing with memory; physical memory is the constrained resource. If you're constrained on swap space, you're going to spend the rest of the year swapping. Overcommitting is neither here nor there; a failure to have a backing store for memory (whether in phys…

I just can’t put my finger on it, but in VSCode I very frequently end up in a weird vim state where I just have to hit escape until it resets to normal mode. There just seems to be a lot of corner cases or something that I end up hitting frequently. And I’m fairly certain that is not on my part seeing as both vim itself, Spacemacs and Atom’s vim mode work superbly for me. It’s one of those things where VSCode just en…
I suspect what you're running into is some kind of crash when running a command. I will say that I don't think we're doing a very good job handling errors, and I suspect it's that most users don't report them (they just press and it goes back to normal). For example, this: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/pull/2087 Either way, if you're ever interested in heading back to VSCode and felt disappointed in the Vim mode,…

Not OP, but my browser is open pretty much all the time, and pinning tabs ensures they don't get lost.
Pinned tabs still get closed with Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+W, which is a bit of a drag. I make SSB apps for my most used websites, for me it's much faster than: - switch to chrome - switch to chrome window with pinned tab - switch to pinned tab

> 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…
> It's funny so many of my colleagues kid me by saying "emacs is a great operating system but it lacks a good editor" without ever trying it while I'm using emacs without a problem for the last 6-7 years and people around me changing their editors every year I thought only the vim users used that refrain. vim users are also unlikely to switch to a different editor.

Minor nitpick, but Chrome has never been Open Source. Sure, it's mostly Chromium, but the point still stands.
