Dear Microsoft, PLEASE native SFTP sync support. I will switch from Sublime permanently.

Why not use some tool for that and decouple it from your editor requirements? I leave a gulp task running when I have to use ftp work to just mirror my git branch https://www.npmjs.com/package/vinyl-ftp

SFTP uses SSH, and I need SYNC ability, not just reupload the entire project.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've been using the Vim extension for quite a while and it's become fairly robust. I think it bests jVi in Netbeans.

Which vim extension in particular?

They had to rollback the update: > 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…

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?

I mean, it's been a big couple weeks of releases. Between Surface Studio, the new speech recognition results, Teams, and this VSCode update (barring the npm issue) they seem to be really hitting their stride, in a way that hasn't been seen in years. Just in time to start clawing back tons of market share from Apple, too.

But I'm sure 2017 will be the year of Linux on the desktop.

I liked VS Code when I tried it. But...

It irked me when I found out you had to disable telemetry per project/file. That really should be a global setting. Obtaining telemetry data through attrition is not something that will spur my adoption.

I'd rather stay with Atom, vim, or even Eclipse.

Umm, you can disable it globally. They have pretty amazing documentation, 3 seconds of searching later:

http://vscode-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/supporting/faq/#...

Windows

  Close VS Code.
  Open the command prompt.
  Type cd %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Visual Studio Code\resources\app
  Type notepad product.json
  Replace enableTelemetry=true with enableTelemetry=false.
  Save the file via CTRL+S and exit Notepad. Collection of usage data should now be disabled.

OS X / Linux

  Close VS Code.
  Open the terminal
  For:
  Mac Type cd /Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app
  Linux Type cd /Resources/app
  Type vi product.json
  Replace enableTelemetry=true with enableTelemetry=false
  Save the file via Esc ZZ. Collection of usage data should now be disabled.

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.

Across a lot of products...it almost seems like a ban on ideas was lifted and there's suddenly a decade of pent up creativity and enthusiasm being released by Microsoft.

Yeah, I've been on that page before. Old instructions were per project. Wasn't motivated to keep checking for changes.

Thanks for letting me know. LMGTFYAAA...

The current docs ( https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/supporting/FAQ#_how-to-di... ) seems to indicate that it's just a normal pref now, you don't need to edit the app to do it.

I wasn't able to figure out what version readthedocs was last generated for.

Microsoft and TypeScript team are doing amazing work with this editor! There are so many interesting features in it, gave it a shot few weeks ago and was really satisfied.

>But you know, I can't hang Emacs and Vim on the wall and leave them there. I never got the hang of Emacs, but there is a decent vim extension (there are a bunch) called vimStyle which at least gets you the vim-like code navigation.

Took me a while, but finally got the hang of it.
