Anyone using VS Code?

VS Code[^] Just found this a little bit ago have downloaded and kicking the wheels! Anyone else using it? Any tips, tricks or complaints?
New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta
I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!I gave it a spin but decided I liked Sublime better. Maybe it was because I only found one plugin that let me FTP-sync with the actual code base running on an Ubuntu VM, and I didn't want to be bothered with configuring yet another editor. But there was also something definitely klunky about it. It was sort of the whole gestalt of the tool. But again, by that time, I was probably used to Sublime's quirks and didn't want to learn new quirks, I mean, how to deal with new quirks, in the editor that is. :~ Marc

VS Code definitely has some quirks and takes some time getting used to but I guess it's that way with any editor. I use Nodepad++ for most of my none programming needs and I'm used to it and have pretty well discovered all the quirks and such. It's kind of like a pair of boots/shoes once you break them in they are comfortable and going to a new pair is a PITA because you have that break in period and you know it's going to hurt. :)

Agreed, although light weight it is indeed an IDE. It's pretty cool but not sure if it will replace Notepad++? For me anyway. Side Note: See it's getting a little warm out there!

I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!I think it fits in quite well along side notepad++ and Full featured VS. I tend to only use it for small/non-complex projects Compared to Full VS it does all the basics and I find it quite a bit quicker, also it's less busy and makes it easier to focus. I still use Full VS for large projects since you have more context of the individual projects and more powerful plugins. Notepad++ still has it's place for random edits of individual files, VS code seems over kill for that. I've also used atom and quite a few online editors, they seem closer to the Notepad++ end of the spectrum, VS code seems to fit my needs better, being that it has tight DotNet integratiion.

I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!I replaced notepad++ with it :) It has a bunch of great features and the current list of extensions are great. Even though NP++ has more functionality, what made me change was the design and colours, viewing C++ is extremely pleasing on the eyes Open folders -> so you have a directory of code files to easily navigate I've gotten used to the package manager (F1) and I think it's fun and quicker than many tasks I did in NP++ Being a bit of an IDE was fascinating though, I was totally surprised when it could connect to Unity to debug my code

I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!Using it as a main tool at work and for home project. Tried VS and atom before, but for js/ts projects like VS Code more :) What disappoints a little is that lately it started to crash several times a week. But that's not critical. It starts fast and restores last opened files

I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!I recently switched from Sublime to VSC. The 'killer feature' for me was that it has typings build in. It can read typescript typings for third-party libraries while you can still write Javascript. A big win-win in my book: the strong type advantages with regards to tooling, without losing the flexibility of loosely typed JS. (also: build-in Node.js debugger) That said, for C# in the back-end, it's still VS2015 all the way.:cool:

I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!I use it for writing html5 apps on my mac. I also have been helping get it running on a project that is developing .net applications on windows with linux as the target. I think it is great - but I don't do any real development on windows anymore. I use it for more than just html5, it's pretty much replaced my editor(s) all around. I use it for system scripts, etc. I really like it.

I'm really interested in what you found klunky about VS Code. I'm on the VS Code team and we are working on removing adoption blockers. If you can spare the time to describe what put you off the product, we'd really appreciate it. Then we can work on it and improve the experience. Thanks, Steven

Same opinion here. I like Notepad++, but there is a need for something simimilar on linux and especially for the people from the win-dev-world. Please I know about 'vi', but it's not my 1st choice only tool... please!

I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!I'm using it for Python. I was previously using Notepad++, but I'm finding the intellisense and code marking to be so much better than Notepad++, which, in turn, was better than Idle.

It's like Sublime Text but free. I use Sublime and VS Code alternatively and I have found that Sublime is a bit faster but that VS Code has native Git support. I still haven't decided which one to keep. ;P
I've never used Sublime, I use Notepad++ instead but I'm finding, at least for the web stuff I'm doing that VS Code is pretty OK. Yeah I like the native GIT support also. I tried to learn GIT several time, using several GUIs on several OSs and found it to be tedious and counter intuitive but on VS Code it's drop dead simple.

ANYTHING is better then Idle. I tried it on the Raspberry Pi and ended up with Geany but think I'll see if VS Code will run on the Pi...wouldn't that be a kick!

Sure -- I'll fire it up again and let you know, if I get sidetracked (by work) ping me again either here or directly to remind me. Marc

Sublime Text is still around for the Mac - shame it never got developed further than it did. TextWrangler (free) is ok(ish) too if you're desperate, but VS Code does a decent enough job too. I tend to use WebStorm on the Mac though.
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.
