VSCode updates

Has anyone noticed that when you get a vscode update, the release notes never call out the bugs that were fixed. <snark>I bet it's because the list is so large that it would cause the release notes file to be larger than the max possible size...</snark> <moresnark>How do they exppect us to be able to reliably develop our own buggy code if the tools they provide us are so buggy?</moresnark>

Release Notes:
Bug fixes and performance improvements.
Sometimes with slightly more embellishment, but it usually translates to the same meaningless BS. :sigh:

No need when you can just enhance over them. User: "Microsoft, have you fixed the xyz bug?" MS: "Did you see the list of 300 enhancements including new fonts and icons?" User: "Oh, look at all the shiny." :rolleyes:

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013I tried VSCode and never found it a good solution for my needs. As a pure editor it's worse than VisualStudio + VisualAssistX, for C# or Windows C/C++ code it's worse... I found it acceptable for Python but I wrote 100 lines of Python in my whole life so take it with a deposit of salt.

I've never felt the need to use VS Code rather than Visual Studio.
In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S Thompson - RIP
We have to because we're coding in javascript/react... I really enjoy it when the vscode debugger randomly creates a breakpoint in one of the bundle files or randomly deletes a breakpoint on its own, or when you paste code into a file, it automatically scrolls you to the bottom of that file (a true pain when that file is thousands of lines long, or when code thinks there's an error when it obviously isn't but the crappy intellisense simply hasn't caught up with your typing...

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013All I can say about VS Code is that when it was first introduced, I was rather excited to see a decent "plain" code editor from MS that could load in roughly the same amount of time as Notepad (definitely quicker than Visual Studio itself) when all I needed was to just take a quick look at some source with something that has at least a little bit of intelligence (enough to understand the syntax). Then they quickly proceeded to throw in everything but the kitchen sink, and it rapidly lost the ability to load quickly. It's still quicker than the full-blown Visual Studio, but it's now slow enough I can't say it serves that purpose anymore...

Maybe you should ditch a few extensions you don't really need. On my system (aged 4+ yrs) it starts up and loads my main project in about 2-3 seconds.

Of course they wont fix bugs. They just rename/renumber them. :laugh: Of course they can't put that in the release notes. Error 62316: File not found => Error 86549: Miscellaneous input/output conflict. ;P

If there's any "extension I don't really need", they come bundled with VS Code itself. How do I know what it needs vs what's superfluous? And if it's superfluous, why is it included with a default setup (is my real rant...)?
Agreed, MS includes too much in the basic setup, especially copilot seems to be a performance killer. That said, you can simply try to un-install any extension, if it's really needed, or something else depends on it you'll be notified. Additionally, there are plenty ways to troubleshoot extension performance and issues, but that assumes you're willing to invest some time to figure them out which may not be practical for you.

Yeah, I've used Notepad++ for years (I still have it installed on a system or two and keep it up to date), but man, it's still ugly as sin.
Likewise - it's quick and does the job most of the time. I still miss brief, though. Sadly we stopped using that years ago.
