Can it launch in less than 10 secs with a mechanical disk? Can it not be unresponsive if you have a mechanical disk or a weak CPU? Ooops, I'll stick to Sublime

I'm not a fan of the idea of the editors-in-HTML craze, but designing for mechanical disk usage is a bit silly, no?

My favorite is multi-selection mode. It's not the same as "Column Mode" you find in other IDEs but try it and you will never want another editor again: (Option)Alt-Cmd + Down or Up arrow key From there, you can use arrow keys as normal, but instead of controlling one carrot, you control all the ones you created. So if I use the shortcut key to move to the next word, they all do, same with end of line, or what have yo…

Visual Studio gets this feature soon, otherwise I use it all the time in sublime

Unfortunate that you're being downvoted because the slow start time of VS code is honestly such a big blocker that it outweighs most of these features for me. I just can't wait 10 seconds every single time I want to take a note.

What is your workflow like that a few second delay is a major blocker?

I used to feel the same way early in my career. Now I don’t feel the need to be in a rush all the time.

Is it really an issue? I think I start my editor only when I do the update and I have to reset my mac.

Really nice idea, but 90% focused on Web (frontend?) development. HTML, JS, and not much else. :(

Still found 2 useful things for me, Parens colorizer and settings sync via Github Gist.

These are helpful tips for VS Code. If you don't (want to) use it, then this has nothing to do with you.

Nobody is trying to sell VS Code to you.

I use it for most of my C++ projects, and it almost does a better job than Visual Studio itself.
