Anybody know how many people are on the VSCode team? They're moving so fast in adding useful stuff with very few hiccups...I'm lovin' it.

Erich Gamma (Gang of Four - Design patterns) is part of the team.

"co-author of the influential software engineering textbook, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. He co-wrote the JUnit software testing framework with Kent Beck and led the design of the Eclipse platform's Java Development Tools (JDT)"

And here's me writing code that creates csv files, that get copied from one server to another server (on another continent) - without anyone reading them.

> - Intellisense is immediately superior to anything I've used in EMACS. For JS maybe. Irony with irony-clang is the best C++ autocomplete I've found. VSCode's C++ Intellisense is crap.

I have unfortunately not done much C or C++ development since uni. I know that SLIME always seemed far and away the best lisp editing experience.

It's funny about SLIME: it's arguably even better than using Emacs for Emacs Lisp!

Do you use any extension to use emacs keybindings? I've tried out VS Code a couple of times and wasn't able to find an extension for emacs keybindings that had everything I use in it. When I tried out Atom, one of the packages for this worked fairly well (although I have other issues that prevent me from using Atom as my full-time editor)

They just introduced keymap modes, including emacs.

Oh, not sure how I missed this! I'll have to try it out

EDIT: On trying it out, it seems to have reasonable support for most of the editing functionality, but the shortcuts for handling split buffers (C-x 0, C-x 1, C-x o, etc.) is completely non-existent. I'm unsure right now whether I'd be able to define them on mine own or whether I'd be willing to stick with it if I couldn't.

I recently moved from EMACS (after using it for ~10 years & ~6 languages) to VSCode. There are loads of things that I miss but overall it's been a fairly smooth transition. I'm moving because I spend most of my time writing javascript and felt that no combination of emacs modes allowed me to keep up with a proper IDE. Emacs is a tool to learn once and use for a lifetime (and I will continue to use it for other editin…

Emacs doesn't do go to definition? Eeek

VS Code is, along with Typescript and Vue, one of my favorite things to have entered my world in the past 6 months. They have been rapidly improving VSC and I am exceptionally happy with it.

The debugger changed how I code. So much better than any other node debug solutions.

Is vsc's debugger better than chrome devtools?

Still waiting on docblock support or plugin for PHP, then I'm going to give it a shot. Till then I'll stick w/ sublime. Though I've been trying vim again, maybe I'll finally jump into it.. I mean I jumped into Arch linux + i3wm(tiled window manager), moving into the console for everything seems next logical transition toward becoming part computer.

You should have separated the PHP comment with the "becoming part computer". I would like to upvote just the latter.

is that a knock on php? it gets the job done, I also am working on some phoenix side projects, but Laravel is my main bread and butter currently and what I excel at. Would love to do more/become better at using elixir/haskell in some future apps, but I only see them really mattering when I need lots of concurrency.

Vim doesn't either. You have to use third party plugins.

Can't upvote this enough. One dev mentioned in a GitHub issue that the blue color is for branding reasons [1]. This is so absurd, it hurts. That status bar is the most distracting and annoying thing ever. See link for suggestions how to mitigate. I use the tip from the person named sysrpl. VSCode is unusable with that blue color for me. 1: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/1884

We do have a plan to enable this - unfortunately it did not make 1.8 but we plan to work on it in 1.9. So you should have some additional options soon. Sean - VS Code Team Member

Is it possible to add for a way for the user to have a custom CSS file? I really like how Atom provides such great visual customization by just giving the user a less file that they can edit.

I do almost 100% js dev these days, and I've been switching back and forth between Sublime and VSCode for the past few months. The one major issue I have with VSCode is lack of completions for strings and words which Intellisense doesn't understand. Sublime's CodeIntel dose an excellent job of picking up all the "words" I've used in open files and saves me a lot of typing and typos. Maybe there's some config I'm unaw…

Can you give an example? It seems to work great for words at least in the same file.
