Really happy about the workbench theming. VSCode continues to put out great releases.

A good decision to focus on closing issues and doing more polish for the past month. The project moves fast, so taking a step back is really appreciated - before it gets out of control (as in: too buggy)

vscode just keeps winning. Who cares if it is written in electron (we love to hate electron). Cross Platform, 100% FREE. Open Source and so much support. Tons of good plugins already. Keep up the good work vscode team!!

I love VS Code, but is anyone else getting a lot of flickering/redraws (particularly around the cursor) on OSX since the update?

I've been running Linux as my primary desktop OS for a bit over two decades. If you told me five years ago that the majority of my daily coding would take place in an editor written by Microsoft I'd have thought you were crazy.

VS Code is an awesome editor and is improving at an equally awesome pace. Kudos to Microsoft and the team behind it.

We've been using VSCode for some Go programming lately and I have to say I'm super impressed. Way faster than GogLand and I love that it is Open Source. Seriously great.

I love to hate on Electron when it's used for tiny single-purpose apps. But VS Code is a large and complex project with a focus on extensibility, which I think Electron is perfect for.
