I'm going to have to rate this as "probably never going to work". I really wanted it to succeed, because I actually like Microsoft and want a new editor, but the pure amount of ignorance this thing began with and continues to display is just too much. * Didn't launch with tabs, a plugin system, or code folding * Still no Projects or Workspace. You can open a "Folder", which behaves like a workspace, but you can only…
When MS gets into something, they really get into it. VS Code has exceeded pretty much all my expectations with the pace it has been progressing at.
The biggest thing for me has been the consistency. They already had an amazing IDE (Visual Studio), then they buckled down and made an amazing paired-down version (VSCode). It works well, does all the things I'd want and then some. Compare to Google releasing a chat client / message handler (google voice app), another one (hangouts), taking away functionality (removing shared sms/hangouts convos), then releasing two…
FYI, and no judgement: the word is "pare", meaning "to trim" or "to cut down".
Also seen in "paring knife" :-)

> Whoops! 1.7 release rolled back to 1.6.1 due to issue downloading definition files for IntelliSense
> Unfortunately, we needed to roll back the 1.7 release of VS Code. One of the great new features in 1.7 is the automatic acquisition of typing files when writing JavaScript and TypeScript. These typings files drive the IntelliSense (code completions) experience in the tool. The feature was so great that we started to overload the npmjs.org service. The right thing to do in the short term was to revert the release. If you had already upgraded to 1.7 you would have been prompted to install another update and you should now be at 1.6.1 again. We apologize for this inconvenience and we're working hard to make both short and long term fixes to bring you a great editing experience in VS Code.
Not a negative comment in the thread so far. That's amazing for something Microsoft, as anyone who's been around here can attest. There's a corner being turned here; time to buy MSFT?
The one unfortunate thing about it is that it doesn't work/isn't packaged for Raspberry Pi. I don't understand why they don't make a package for the pi, if it's a JS app anyways
