How does it require ffmpeg?

The HTML Audio and Video support is probably all not used in Code. However I guess it could be hard to compile chromium (and electron) without these, if they didn't invest the additional effort to put them behind a compile flag.

The speed at which they release updates is at least impressive. Visual Studio Code and Typescript have completely changed the way I look at MS. Kudos to the team.

Kudos to the PR team.

FTFY ;-)

Shhh. Remember you're not supposed to criticize Microsoft here: they're the good guys now!

I have this and Sublime installed...until the editor gets rid of fuzzy fonts when scaling resolutions, I unfortunately have to stick to Sublime even though I reaaaaaaaaaaaaally like VS Code.

What do you mean with "scaling resolutions"?

I have a 4k screen, but like to set resolution scaling to 150% on Windows. MacOS also does this for the retina displays. It looks fine for the most parts, and fonts render fantastically with Sublime but VSCode fonts in the editor are blurry and make it harder on the eyes for reading.

It is, you can watch videos at the extensions marketplace.

Those are animated GIF's, not "real" videos.

Actually, audio/video can be and is used. There is an API for previewing HTML documents, and tags work perfectly fine.

Awesome! In the next release we'll hopefully have the "hot-exit" behavior like Sublime, where you can close the editor without having to save files, and they're back where you left off when re-opening. Apparently, the PR for this got merged only 2 weeks ago [1] [1] https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/101#issuecomment-...

I hate this features. Why don't you just save your files?
