It's not really much though... Software engineers make that in an hour or two, that's reasonable price for 3 years of updates of the primary tool... And it's a business expense. And as the sibling comment says, a game costs about the same.

It depende on the country. In my country (Brazil, where minimum wage is less than US$ 1/hour) a software developer earns about 1/4 or 1/5 (or less) compared to US salaries for a similar job. Spotify, Netflix and YouTube Premium here are much cheaper than in US.

I mean contractors - my bad, I should've been more clear... I'm used to everyone being a contractor. Employees should get license from employers. Is contracting rate also that low in Brazil?

I'm blown away by how snappy this is. It always is, but it's even better now. This is really impressive work. I don't think I'm the target audience here. I just spent 30m trying to tune this for a TypeScript project, and I can't seem to easily get eslint, prettier, and a few other tools working. I added the TypeScript language server package, but it doesn't offer any of the effortless reference navigation and refacto…

I use Sublime instead of vim/gedit/notepad/notepad++ for quickly viewing files. The main benefit of Sublime over VSCode is that it opens several orders of magnitude faster. However, in terms of doing actual programming work I prefer VSCode over Sublime because it has way better plugins.

On behalf of the small, loud minority that cares about these things, thank you very much

> TypeScript, JSX and TSX Support It doesn't seem like Sublime ships with the Typescript language server by default, not sure if I'd call syntax highlighting as support.

It's the same support we supply for every language. Syntax highlighting drives our goto-definition, goto-symbol, auto-complete and more.

From the announcement text, I assumed Language Server support as well. Not your fault, since you haven't mentioned it specifically.

However, Language Server is way more than syntax support and a huge time saver for Typescript developers. You'll need it to attract Typescript developers, especially since your customers are likely to be advanced users.

Why's that? It depends how frequently a major release happens. If it stays at "4.x" for 5 years, I'd way rather have the "tied to a single major version" license :)

Settled into neovim for startup speed. My VSCode editor has vim keys too, so ... ohm! :) edit: My only gripe with VSCode currently is that it seems too eager to correct my typing.

I actually battle vscode every freakin day over autocomplete. It's really bad if you're writing php and happen to have a // phpcs somewhere, it'll convert <?php to <?phpcs which makes no damn sense.

By itself VSCode won't autocorrect you. You should take a look at your extensions settings.

Not a Data Engineer (yet?) but that sentence definitely apply to me.

This is interesting. Does that mean that it's not possible to goto-definition for a file that isn't open? What about goto-definition of a file in a different module? Combining syntax highlighting and code navigation seems like a reasonable approach, I'm just curious how it works.

Goto-definition, goto-anything and now auto-complete use the folders you have added to the project (under Project > Add Folder to Project…). We use all these things internally to navigate our (relatively large) C++ codebase.

I just wish it was a little cheaper. Every time I think about buying a license I realize it’s like 30-40 USD more than I expect and I chicken out

Any chance you can get your employer (if you have one) to buy you a license? Some employers will help out their staff by buying licenses for IDEs, or textbooks or stuff like that.

I really wish that Sublime would add an integrated terminal panel. None of the packages I’ve tried that do add a terminal view, work the way the way I want them to. It’s really the one feature that’s holding me back from even trying to switch away from VS Code.

I prefer having my terminals separate from my editor, personally
