VS Code is so bloated af Waiting for this to be stable! Would love to contribute! Any next features doc, so I can pick a topic and submit some PRs. Awesome work :)

sublime text is the best editor currently, in my view.

apart from code folding.

The 0.0.1 release crashes on MacOS 12.0.1, would be nice to try it out when its more stable.

It crashes in Catalina too, unfortunately. I was looking forward to trying the build.

Yep, I'm either on Sublime or Emacs.

Looks promising. Always nice to see a movement to slim-down RAM and CPU usage of our tools. Will this editor allow me to run it with rust-analyzer code completion?

Rust-analyzer is an LSP Server, so it should be supported.

Same, + remote containers.

The open folder command is unbound by default on windows. Is it meant to be like that ?

I literally couldn't open any folder.

Also on windows by default it leaves a separate command window hanging which seems odd. Why isn't this logging done within the app terminal itself.

The bloating cycle should merit its own xkcd comic I guess. VS Code was specifically successful because it was perceived as much less bloated then IDEs, yet much more user friendly than most editors. Now we hear complaints that it is bloated. What will be next?

All "lightweight", "fast" shiny new things are so because they have plenty of missing features. But anyway is it a widespread opinion that VSCode is bloated? Because for me at least it feels fast, especially considering all its features.

Jetbrains is trying to catch up on this, and in some cases has.
