Slightly off topic but this code in example #5:

  get() {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      fetch(`${baseAPI}/heroes`)
        .then(response => response.json())
        .then(json => resolve(json))
        .catch(err => {
          reject (err);
        });
    });
  }

Why not just:

  get() {
    return fetch(`${baseAPI}/heroes`)
      .then(response => response.json());
  }

My favorite is multi-selection mode. It's not the same as "Column Mode" you find in other IDEs but try it and you will never want another editor again: (Option)Alt-Cmd + Down or Up arrow key From there, you can use arrow keys as normal, but instead of controlling one carrot, you control all the ones you created. So if I use the shortcut key to move to the next word, they all do, same with end of line, or what have yo…

This exists in most editors I've used (intellij is alt + shift + click or double tap alt, if I recall). I don't know how people program without this feature - they should teach this shit in school. Multicursor is amazing. One thing it's been great for: I have code like: byte b1 = array[0]; And I want to do this for 16 bytes. Control + D to duplicate 15x. Double tap control, hit up 15 times - now there's a cursor at e…

Yea, I have the mac bindings, and for me it's opt-click to add a cursor, and ctrl-g to select next duplicate of whatever I select. You can even do stuff like "move left 1 word" or "move to begin/end of line" and all cursors follow the same behavior, possibly with different movement-distances. Utterly trivial refactorings in any language (including english), and always feels far easier to understand / predict than Vim's record-and-replay (as useful as it is), especially since you can see the results in every instance as you type.

I've been using it in editors since well before VSCode existed. It's very nearly a requirement for me to use an editor now.

Blank page without JS, static content with JS. C'mon!

I really like VSCode. MS is innovating in UX.

And yet it still doesn't respect the Insert key. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=adammara...

I've been using computers for over twenty years, and I'm still yet to use the insert key on purpose. My AutoHotkey profile actually suppresses the keypress entirely, along with some media keys.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Once upon a time, hitting insert resulted in the caret switching from line to rectangle to indicate input mode.

Now that I could dig

IntelliJ does this! Very convenient for recognizing accidentally hitting it.

That's a feature, not a bug

Really nice idea, but 90% focused on Web (frontend?) development. HTML, JS, and not much else. :( Still found 2 useful things for me, Parens colorizer and settings sync via Github Gist.

I use it extensively for Elixir development. It's fantastic.

I don't know how is it now, but I've used it for a couple of months for web dev on my mac and switched to Atom when noticed my cpu was 70%+ of usage all the time. I suspected it was because of the typescript plugin, but honestly I don't care Atom doesn't do that and I'm happy with it.

I'd have at least spent 15 minutes working out what was causing it before taking the jump and switching editors?

Can it launch in less than 10 secs with a mechanical disk? Can it not be unresponsive if you have a mechanical disk or a weak CPU? Ooops, I'll stick to Sublime

Just curious, why do you use a mechanical disk?

Mechanical disks are basically free in this day and age, so that's still a pretty significant savings over an SSD which is more like the price of a mechanical disk 10 years ago. You could cheap out and do a small SSD/large HDD combination, but I find that having an excessively small system drive is nothing but headaches, especially for software development where you are frequently installing different toolchains, etc. Until I can afford an SSD that is comfortably in excess of my storage requirements, then I'll stick with the HDD.
