#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can someone explain the attraction of the minimap? It's something I turn off in any editor. I can't rely on a postage stamp size picture of my code being unique enough between different parts of a file -- beyond perhaps the imports/constants/macros at the top, which you don't need help finding anyways. ctrl-f or 'go to definition' has been enough.
I worked at a company that had some files that were thousands of lines long. The result of 10 years of entropy build up. When you've worked with these files long enough, and it sounds kind of funny, but the shape of the code becomes very familiar. Searching for keywords though usually my primary method of finding places in code was sometimes less effective because it would occur multiple times (think function names)…
A tree view of whatever you are working on would be more efficient to jump through parts of code, like Vim TagBar for instance. VSCore has Alt+O for symbols but I wish it had a tree view on the side of the editor.

It's everything a scroll bar does and more. Yea you can kind of get to know the structure of your code which is nice and sometimes when I open up a file and the mini-map is dense I already know I'm getting into a big file. One of the most useful features for me (not sure if VS Code has this), but when I double-click/select a word, all other words with the same name are highlighted in the minimap. It's crazy useful fo…
Playing around with the minimap now, and disappointingly it doesn't seem to render the text selection (at least not at my dpi). Was looking forward to that as well.
If you haven't tried vscode however, it's always had selection markers inside the real scrollbar.

#44What is the long term value to Microsoft for VS Code? It is definitely improving their image within the web development community, and I imagine it is also winning them favor with Go developers. Have people noticed a network effect after using VS Code? Are you getting sucked into the rest of the MS ecosystem at all?
Their long-term plan seems to be that Azure is going to be the best / easiest platform to host the projects they contribute to on. Therefore, their open source projects like TypeScript and .NET Core act as a funnel to drive people to Azure. I also think that they are trying to position .NET Core as a viable competitor to Java, for which they need decent cross-platform tooling.
True.
I have to admit, since I switched from Atom to VSCode, I'm also re-evaluating other Microsoft products. I even bought a copy of Win10 (but it wasn't as good as I hoped, haha).
Also, I worked with a few DevOps people who really hated AWS usability and some of them said Azure should be much better.

You might think that, but someone else might think differently. It depends on whether you have a spatial sense of the code, or symbolic.

#46A minimap! This was one of the last remaining Sublime features that I missed.
i wonder if they're forced to run the highlighter on a huge range now instead of restricting it to viewport. has this affected perf?

#47I'm still looking for the auto-reload preview that is right beside the code which refreshes when you save.
We support live preview for markdown and are investigating support for html as well ( https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/12080 ). Extensions can also provide their own live preview implementations If you have suggestions or ideas for a live preview, please file a feature request: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/new
fantastic support! looking forward to it. VS Code is the new de facto IDE.
One killer feature might be something from LightTable, where you can highlight a chunk of code and see the output printed on the same page without leaving it.
That's probably one of the last features that makes LightTable valuable but VS Code is killing it! I ditched Atom and SublimeText as well.

Visual studio code is also the best option for writing Rust on any platform these days (imo!).
Haven't noticed myself buying more microsoft products, but have noticed how much more interested I am in what microsoft is releasing these days (.NET core for example)

#49Did I miss auto imports feature announcement? I saw that typescript got this support and it was pending a VS code release, I figured this would be the release

Wait what? So I switch from Sublime Text to Azure? Where is the missing node here... How do you go from using VS Code to using Azure?
