Whenever I try a new text editor, I run into a problem: I absolutely love the feature where it auto-completes based on other words in open windows (or other files in the open project). But there's no official term for this so I can never tell if a text editor has it. Years ago this used to be called "hippie expand", but I can't figure out a more modern name that is used. Does anyone know what Visual Studio Code calls…
I'm not particular about what editor you choose. I've been looking for a good JS IDE. Webstorm is of course the only real player in this space (with an amazing IDE) but it's pricey. I've been watching VSCode with great interest. However, every time I try the editor it's a huge letdown. Buggy, crashy, shitty and weird interface (they have completely made up their own tabbing/splitting paradigm for example, which is bu…
As a code editor, I've really liked VS Code.. I haven't ever setup any integrated debugging, or used the tasks options... so I can't comment for that, but for my use it's been very stable.
If you want a full blown IDE with integrated debugging, etc, then you're right, it's less than ideal... having to edit json config files is cumbersome, and I'm guessing they'll get a GUI over that once it's more feature complete... as it stands, the core works well...
Though I do wish I could get pre-tabs behavior back, once I got used to it, I preferred the switcher ui on the left.

That's funny, I don't know that it's been referred to as an IDE so much as a more advanced code editor.. which is about all I use it for... I generally have my rightmost screen with iTerm and 3 windows split, one tall, the other two quarter screen... next to the left is VSCode for the project/directory I'm in, left again for browser, left for lync/outlook etc. As a code editor, I've really liked VS Code.. I haven't e…

I got used to the UI after some time and haven't had stability issues, but a lot of extensions I've tried have been half-baked or worse. My main complaint is that cold startup is too slow to use as an all-purpose editor.
Thanks for all the efforts to make vscode a great tool.

My favourite thing about VSCode is how fast it is. WebStorm and Atom are dogs.

Sold me on it.

Add the Node.js Tools for VS and the Tools for Apache Cordova extensions (including the kick-ass VS emulator for Android) and you've got a complete kit for programming JS everywhere. Developing ionic apps with this tool is an absolute dream.
EDIT: And it's free.
