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.
MS has always been good at developer tools (in their own way)

Re: Visual Studio Code 1.7
#152The 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
What I also don't understand is why doesn't Debian package it? Is it not fully free or does it have licencing issues like Atom?
It would need a maintainer, and would have to work its way through unstable->testing->stable too.
Is there even an official Debian that runs of RasPi, anyways? Thought Raspbian was a fan effort that resurrected an old armf fork or similar.

#153Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
I use a rsync-based script to upload only changed files. In large projects rsync takes some time to find changed files so I wrote another script that finds them by modified time and passes a list to rsync.

Sometimes your cheap shared hosts don't have git on the other end.
You should try Digital Ocean $5/month. Have root access, etc. Is there a shared host cheaper than that?
I don't know if there is any shared host cheaper than that (I suppose there are but I'm too lazy to check right now), but sometimes the appeal in using a shared host is in some of their features which you don't get in a VPS (e.g.: cpanel).

#158I'm really surprised by just how polished and fast Code is. It's like Atom but better in almost every regard with the exception of plugins available. Highly recommended.
I wonder if this could be a reason so many comments mention better speed than atom.
Couple of months ago I've wiped out all extra plugins in atom and installed just ones I'm really using. Atom became much more responsive, very noticeable difference.

#159Dear Microsoft, PLEASE native SFTP sync support. I will switch from Sublime permanently.
Why can't you use rsync ? Curious on the use case for this if you don't mind elaborating.

I was so excited, but it turns out there's still no middle click for block selection :(
I like to read these release discussions so much. Everyone has their pet feature, most of them stuff that I never use or didn't even know they existed. I personally like ctrl+/ to comment out blocks or mark stuff from the integrated terminal, both didn't work the last time I tried it.
Commenting out is there, you can search the keyboard shortcut settings to find the proper key. Actually, there are multiple commands on that subject:
- editor.action.commentLine toggles comments
- editor.action.addCommentLine & editor.action.removeCommentLine
- editor.action.blockComment for block comments
