Does VSCode 1.0 still come with the tracking and analytics (phone home stuff) that cannot be turned off?
It is turned on, but you can turn off either crash reporting, or usage telemetry reporting, or both. Please see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq#_how-to-di... . Scroll down to see more on usage telemetry reporting.

It's now an optional install: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/vFebruary#_languages-c...
The link says: "or if you already have a project with C# files, VS Code will prompt you to install the extension as soon as you open a C# file.". As a matter of fact, it doesn't.
Actually it does. I just opened one C# file and got that prompt to install C# extension, after which everything was back to normal.
Having tried it briefly, looked much better than Atom! I would use it at work if I could turn off the phone home feature.

I made the switch to linux in 2005. There's always been two tools I've sorely missed since that transition: excel and visual studio. Glad to see the latter finally come.
There's very little connection between Visual Studio and Visual Studio code...

You can run commands via the task runner. If you need a real terminal - why not simply open one and split it next to Code using your window manager?
Why not simply add a terminal pane to the editor so I don't need to?

Yep, that's what I meant, earlier I didn't have such an awesome text editor with git inbuilt, eclipse is clunky and stuff, vi and emacs are too hard to learn, didn't have that much time to learn every small stuff that vi can do, so vscode changed the way I write code, and for most of the "new" developers, it will change the way they write code, gone are the days when you are staring at the screen wondering what was t…
I would strongly suggest that at some point in your career, you take the time to learn either vi or Emacs, even if you still use VS Code everything.

Does every update still resets those settings? (like with beta)
I'm a bit confused by people's praise of VS Code. Are people really writing software with anything less featured than that? As someone who uses Visual Studio for everything, I have a hard time understanding how people can get anything done in Atom/Sublime/Notepad++/etc.
This is a classical hammer/nail example. Big red sign to me. I'm a long time Visual Studio user, and that what you are saying is exactly the problem I see in MS-based developer circles.
Visual Studio is not appropriate for everything. As a matter of fact I don't use it at all for SPA development anymore, but just for server side stuff.
However, to give you few arguments:
1. VS Code and Sublime work on Linux/OSX/Windows and I do work on all three of those. Having the same tool is a great gain here.
2. Editing capabilities of VSCode and Sublime are definitely superior to Visual Studio, to the point that I find myself copying pieces of code from Visual Studio to Sublime, editing it and pasting back to Visual Studio.
3. Speed is not comparable. Visual Studio has become a bloated beast. Sometimes it takes a minute to start it, and then you enjoy busy freeze times whenever you push it just a bit harder than it likes.
All in all, I find my self being much more productive when not using Visual Studio for anything except pure .NET development.
