VS Code can do that?

It's one of those things that is incredibly useful. Of course it's possible to survive without it, but it's like saying "I don't know how people program without Copy and Paste". It helps.

Copy and paste is something that I use many times a day, even when I'm not programming. Needing to do the same edits over multiple lines doesn't happen often in my code. There are appropriate plugins available for my editor, but I've never felt the need to install them.

Slightly off topic but this code in example #5: get() { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { fetch(`${baseAPI}/heroes`) .then(response => response.json()) .then(json => resolve(json)) .catch(err => { reject (err); }); }); } Why not just: get() { return fetch(`${baseAPI}/heroes`) .then(response => response.json()); }

  async get () {
    return await (await fetch(`${baseAPI}/heroes`)).json()
  }

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…

This exists in most editors I've used (intellij is alt + shift + click or double tap alt, if I recall). I don't know how people program without this feature - they should teach this shit in school. Multicursor is amazing. One thing it's been great for: I have code like: byte b1 = array[0]; And I want to do this for 16 bytes. Control + D to duplicate 15x. Double tap control, hit up 15 times - now there's a cursor at e…

I keep hearing good things about VSCode. If I weren't essentially married to emacs I'd definitely try it out. I'm not sure I'd recommend emacs to everyone at this point, though I think it remains a really solid choice of editor/OS for people willing to get over the learning curve and put up with a bit of clunkiness. Re the git stuff though- one place that I'm pretty sure emacs is the uncontested champ is in git integ…

I'd say it's uncontested if you like using emacs . Because - for me - it's awful. Mostly because I find using vim or emacs awful and only use either of them when I absolutely can't avoid it. But that said - it does it's job very well and magit is certainly excellent software for those that are interested in that interface.

I wholeheartedly agree: Magit is that good, really. The way I see it, it reduces the burden associated with carrying the required git mental model in your mind, by giving you easier points of entry into its complexity. I owe all the slightly more advanced things I now routinely do with git (which would probably be seen as pretty basic by a lot of people though) to Magit, without question.
