Change to real Visual Studio for C#. Visual Studio Code is complete garbage in comparison.

dunno if you tried VS2026 C#, but it's worse. I have no extensions (besides the default Copilot) and it's a never ending battle of just trying to get the normal intellisense to show up. What's worst is that the copilot autocomplete suggestions fill in made up methods/properties. Why can't it look at intellisense to get the real ones?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

There are still plenty of things that VSCode does and Zed doesn't. E.g. Dart debugging. Also there is the VC money problem with Zed, at some point, that money will want returns on every dollar spent.

1. Use println 2. That's fine, they'll just build some cloud feature

Printf debugging is a usability and productivity disaster compared to an actual debugger.

Someone needs to bring back the old "Windows [Aero] Task Force" website from back in the Vista/XP days that listed every minor UI/UX annoyance in Windows. And Jobs knows we need something like that for macOS and iOS too now.

Link to context if there’s interest, there was a macOS equivalent back in the day: https://istartedsomething.com/20080811/launching-aqua-taskfo...

Don’t bother clicking the links in the post, domains are squatted.

> Windows Search requires a DNS lookup WHY? Why? Why. I’m seriously asking. Who thought that was a good idea? Who?! FIRE THEM. NO USER ever in the history of Windows users ever said: “I want to search the contents of my computer, but windows search is too fast; can you please make windows search extremely slow, make it omit things that I know exist, and also make it search the internet? Also, I want you to index my l…

BECAUSE ads that's why. They could have had the sense and respect for their users to make it async.

This started before suggestions in the start menu.

The "odd capitalization" was humor related to the parent comment's "odd capitalization".

This is actually bearable compared to the new terminal suggestions in vscode. Not only does it autosuggest bizzare completions for commands, it breaks shell completions. So when I tab a file path, it shoves the absolute path into the partially typed path making it unusable.

It’s so weird, vscode worked flawlessly for me for years and after migrating to neovim a month or two ago I keep seeing complains. Has there been a change lately and in the project, or is it just internet bias?

If you like nvim you'd probably be interested in helix (https://helix-editor.com/) too

I've switched everything except WinForms to VS Code because Visual Studio is becoming a second rate citizen. Where are the first party extensions for Claude Code or Codex? Why is GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio always weeks behind the VS Code version?

Is there a GitHub issue for this?

I dunno about GitHub, but the devs are fairly responsive on the Microsoft forum (which is awful and requires MS login) and you can just Tweet-shame them into fixing stuff if you don't want to go through the proper channels ;)
