I could never get used to NERDTree for navigating through my project. What plugin do you use for project navigation?
not op, but i use ctrlp.vim for everything. feels a lot better than most things.
What I'm hoping for, for all langauges and runtimes, is some global opt-in to WSL. If I have node or python installed on WSL, I would love it if the Windows version of VSCode could act as if it were the Linux version.
Not a Windows users but curious about WSL - could you run Linux VSCode under WSL?

> can benefit one a lot. What are those benefits? I tried to switch from vim to VSCode, and it just felt like it confined me. To be fair, I don't "run vim", per say, I run a shell with tmux inside, split horizontally in two, with vim on top, and two shells (a vertical split) underneath. The left shell on the bottom being used for miscellaneous things, and the right one running some kind of live code checking (with vi…
> it felt like it wanted me to do things "its way", instead of letting me decide what I have found out works through years of experimentation. Arguably that's not "your way" either but "vim's way", which you've adopted over those years of experimentation by force. Only now that there are alternative options which are equally as powerful is it apparent that there are other ways of doing those things.
I've been using VI since the 90's and VIM since... well the 90's. VSCode is the first IDE I've been able to live, and happily. It blows my mind. I have a tonne of tooling around automated python environments, vim plugins (now vscode plugins), tasks - and it's made the whole thing significantly more 'unixy' than it was before. And to think - MSFT! I have git hooks for my homedir's dotfiles that automatically look to s…

I've used Intellij for the Java, Python, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript. I can say that in no way I found VSCode be able to to take on it, even the JavaScript support and they way they have integration with many JavaScript frameworks and other languages frameworks is something I cannot find in VSCode. Intellij IDEs are really fast, very well integrated and made to get me productive, I couldn't find that in VSCode.…
> Intellij IDEs are really fast Not on my Core Duo without turning lots of plugins off. Eclipse and VS 2017 still manage to outperform it, without disabling anything. And that continuous indexing that we cannot disable. :(
You can turn off the continuous indexing by "File > Power Save Mode"
I love using VSCode and find that I have less need for any other IDE with each new release. This one might finally eliminate one of my remaining needs for pycharm. I can't help but feel sorry for Jetbrains though, who seem to be in a similar position to Opera back in the late 2000s, a small software company up against a behemoth that can afford to subsidize the development of an open-source alternative to their bread…
TeamCity in particular is loved by many enterprise shops, as well as IntelliJ and Resharper. None of those (even IntelliJ) are particularly threatened by VSCode.
We want Perl support!

I currently use intellij for java work (because my employer pays for the license) but for most any other type of editing I use emacs. I'd be interested to see what other emacs users think of vscode.

Back in the 90's Borland seemed to have no match for developer tools, then their management went astray. And to be honest I never understood the complaint about lack of quality of their documentation vs what Microsoft, Zortech, Watcom, Nantucket and others used to have on those days. Currently JetBrains is segmenting their products, for example native code languages are only supported in Clion/AppCode, even if you bu…
then their management went astray. That, and Microsoft actively worked to kill them. I don't think JetBrains position is nearly as precarious.
Yes, Anders and a few others eventually moved into Microsoft, but that was a side effect of how bad things were at Borland. Anders refused the offer multiple times from previous team mates that went to Microsoft before he did, until he though that was time to finally leave Borland.

I'm using VSCode for developing in Elixir and (because I had the license anyway I guess) my Python code in PyCharm. But perhaps I should re-evaluate VSCode for Python as well as it works fantastic (including quite advanced code warnings and errors) for Elixir.
