Given the talks from Microsoft's own React Native team regarding the 300x performance loss from Electron based apps, I am looking forward to the day it gets rewritten in React Native.

I hate visual studio programs. They are always so slow, buggy, and when they crash, the program vanishes from the task manger but is still are running from the background, so you cannot kill it easily. Visual Studio is a crutch for real coding.

OK, but this article is about Visual Studio Code, which is a different product.

If VS Code is an endpoint to incremental improvements in text editing, then the next big thing that appears will involve a revolutionary approach.

I'm looking forward to the day when you can have multiple windows open on the same project without going through some horrible kludge. Some of us (!) have more than one monitor and would like, say, to put the debug widgetry over on _this_ one.

(Edit: fixed three typos.)

VS Code is awesome. If you told me ten years ago my daily driver text editor on Linux would be a Microsoft product, well, you’d have been right.

Sane defaults. Snappy interface. Universal UI on multiple OSes that doesn’t suck. First class and best in class TypeScript support. It’s going to be hard to beat, now or five years from now.

You probably mean something in the ballpark of 3x or 300%, rather than 300x?
