VSCode updates

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.

Notepad++ is my favourite quick editor.

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.

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>

Microsoft fix bugs?
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:
That's the same as Jet Brains (IntelliJ IDEA): there are bugs over 8 years old, but instead they add additional functionality. :doh:

I used Notepad++ for a while (until I'd read that an extension was hacked and introduced malware); then I tried SublimeText - but it had way more than I needed (still paid a donation); started using VS Code: I keep the number of extensions to a minimum. Of course, I have Visual Studio for larger, complex projects.

I find it perfect and clean, I like its interface. Also the ability to split views and lock the horizontal and or vertical scroll between the two views is absolutely priceless!

That should be a standard feature for all editors. Heck all controls should inherit that right from Windows itself.
