I'm not sure if you saw, but you can keep it and do the same things as well in the future. "Microsoft says the language services it built for Visual Studio Code will be available in other editors as well, including Sublime Text, Vi and Atom."

As an example, the OmniSharp engine that powers C# completion is available for Emacs, Vim, Sublime, Atom, Brackets, etc. http://www.omnisharp.net/

I just heard about OmniSharp the other day and had some trouble getting it to properly work. But now that this has been announced I may just switch to that.

I still love Sublime and will use that for all other non-.NET/C# purposes.

A real question, not for flaming but just for understand: is free as in beer or in freedom? I mean, is it also open-source?

When most companies say free they mean free of charge, if they want to say open source they say open source, because that’s the term the world understands. Basically only the FSF uses free to mean Free Software.

Open source doesn't imply free (or libre, if you prefer)

Holy shit. I wonder if this will be open sourced in a way that would allow Visual Studio intellisense in Sublime Text. I want that for C++ so bad.

http://www.omnisharp.net/ is what powers the intellisense IIRC (it was mentioned in the keynote).

It pretty much always does.

"(if this link isn’t live yet, give it a few more minutes and then try again)." It's literally right after the link. What did you expect? It's a breaking story, the product was just announced and in the conference it was announced as available later today.

I'm not accustomed to logging into a link that's "not yet live." FWIW, the response I get is: Sorry, but we're having trouble signing you in. We received a bad request. (I'm logged in with the same account through other services.)

It was probably put behind a login wall for this very purpose, so it's not leaked ahead of time. Just have patience.

This looks like it is based on OmniSharp which is open source https://github.com/omnisharp

Uninstalling Sublime Text 3...

This was posted 10 minutes ago and you commented 5 minutes ago. Given I tried to download it and it failed with some weird error message on their site (not to mention registration walls suck) the logical conclusion is that you are not serious about your comment. That then begs the question why you would post such a comment. Looking at your submission history, one could easily assume you work for Microsoft. If that is…
