I'm referring to Sublime and Visual Studio Code. VSCode: look, when I Alt-F-S to save the file, put the cursor back on the document. I do not want to have to click on the document. VSCode: Page up and down should move the document up and down a full screen page. Don't just move the cursor first to the top or bottom of the page. VSCode: Shift up/down arrows. For f***cks sake, if I scroll past where the cursor is, so the cursor goes "off screen", move the cursor to top or bottom of the screen. Otherwise, shift up/down followed by up/down takes me back to wherever the cursor was when it scrolled off the screen. Sublime: Your bookmarks suck. Sublime: WTF happened to performance? All of a sudden everything is dog slow, which is why I switched to that POC VSCode. VSCode: Learn some lessons on how to do global search from Sublime. I think I'm just going to use VS 2017. You obviously get what you pay for.

The VSC one that keeps getting me, it's 50% really useful and 50% utterly annoying, is that when you close a file and it moves to another tab, it also moves back to that file in the explorer. Sometimes that's very convenient, and other times it's a PITA because you closed that file in order to open another one right there at the same spot. And I guess another that is in the same 50/50% category is the single vs. double click open. It can be really convenient if you are just going through a bunch of files one at a time. But inevitably I get myself to some place I need to be, and then go to open another file and forget I only single clicked the first one and it gets closed. But, on the whole, I've started getting used to it for my C++ work.

I keep a subscription to the intellij allpack. I have Rider when/if I need to do .net stuff. Otherwise I'm in the web|phpStorm. Of coarse I am a javascript dev so most of my stuff is flavors javascript and bash.

VC++ 6.0 ruined everything for me. I still use VS2008 just because of the editor. I really miss BRIEF...

Javascript is my favorite language. I don't think I've actually programmed c# for 4+ years now. I've done some debugging and a couple of fixes deployed but that's about it. I used to program c# for a living, and I liked it just fine. I prefer typescript to c# now though.

But it's "The Way of the Future!", so you're obviously wrong about everything.

There's two kinds of wrong: I know I'm wrong vs I know I'm right but everyone else thinks I'm wrong. I prefer the second category. :-D

That perfectly summarizes my experience with it.

I like JetBrains Rider. But it's a rather overkill to edit Javascript files in an Angular app.

FTFY I used Sharp Develop until now and was very happy with it. Now that it is dead, I will sooner forget that I ever heard of .Net than to crawl back to Mickeysoft. C++ is better for what I like to do anyway.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Heh, I have the reverse reaction. :) At this point, I'd rather work in Python than touch C++!
