What I find to be hilariously missing is drag & drop for the selected text. I tried switching to VS code a couple of days ago and realized I couldn't do such a basic thing. That and a decent FTP extension. No one wants to sync their entire project just to upload a single file. ugh.

You use drag and drop of selections? I don't think I've ever done that on purpose --- every time I've ever dragged selected text has been by accident, followed by much cursing as I try to fix my mangled document.

I'd turn it off system-wide if I could!

I don't think I've ever dragged and dropped selected text in my entire life. I didn't even know that was a thing one could do in any editor. Does dragging and dropping move the text, like a cut/paste, or does it copy the text? When would you use that? Is it faster/easier to use the mouse for this than Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V (or y/p in vim)?

I switched from _years_ on sublime (paid) to vscode in a hot minute for Go development. Awesome jump to declaration and linting. There is one thing it has trouble with and that is auto-complete from within sub-packages. Not sure why yet.

What is 'linting'?

I've recently switched to VS Code full time for C# and Python development and I couldn't be happier. While I miss some of the more intelligent intellisense from full VS, I love that I can do all of my dev on OS X. Its integration with .NET Core makes my life easy; really can't complain at all.

I could be wrong, but I think it's a rules-based approach to enforcing code standards in javascript and other languages.

I switched from Atom to Visual Studio Code for my new project (TypeScript frontend and Go backend) and I am really impressed.

Although the Go support is really good in Atom (missing a few things like debugging and jump to definition via mouse), the TypeScript support is significantly slower than in Visual Studio Code.

There are few things missing Visual Studio Code though: Multiple top-level folders, customizable UI (font size in particular), a few essential extensions that Atom has and probably other things I forgot.

Sounds about right. More broadly said, a linter shows things that you should fix.

I have been using VS Code as my full-time editor for a few months now and couldn't be happier. Originally I was only using it for TypeScript projects, where the language integration is top-notch, but eventually found myself using it all the time. I use the vim plugin, which is surprisingly good although it does have a few issues still. The best thing about VS Code (and Microsoft's other big open source project, TypeS…

It's indeed a fantastic editor. Replaced Sublime for me and I couldn't be happier.
