Visual Studio Code is taking over the world. Every Google Dev I see is using it, especially for angular/node.

Bdw, I've been using it (T'S) for the past 24 and I'm loving it.

Never thought I'd say this for anything Microsoft. 😂

Starting to wonder now if I'm the only one who dislikes it 😆

Indeed it is very good, wouldn't change it for RubyMine but when I was using it for JavaScript I really liked it.

Same here. Started using it because waiting for my RAM upgrade cz php storm is too heavy for this MBP

I used it for a while then went back to atom and I do not remember why, but it was something bad.

I started with brackets a while a go.

@mundo03 I did the same, mostly because it was a pain in the ass to make eslint works with vs code.

@byoigres eslint is incredibly easy to make work with vscode, all I had to do was install the extension and provide an eslintrc in project root whilst having eslint installed as a global module.

I tried it a few months ago, but the startup was too slow ( ~15-20 sec). Would be nice to have a good Vim plugin or mode. The UI was very nice though.

@leolas95 Same thing here, for me sublime is much faster

I tried VSCode and Brackets a few months ago but uninstalled. Not sure why. Maybe the experience was not familiar. Sublime is good too but I'd go for Atom cause it's free and beautiful.

Awesome for js dev. Light and fast compared to atom and webstorm. And a good js debugger which is a godsent compared to what I had to deal with in webstorm.

I tried it and to be honest, unless you're a web dev on a laptop with like 2GB RAM and a freaking pinhole of storage space it's quite annoying to use. Never in my life have I ever had to edit a damn .JSON file to run a test C++ program. That's the kind of shit that makes one go crazy. I immediately uninstalled and installed VS 2017 RC

Edit: not to mention I had to install extensions to make anything work at all, including C++.

Tried once, hated it.

@ironedr maybe, but I don't know because apart from a vim plugin and a few themes, I let it exactly as it came. And yes, brackets and atom are extreeeemely slow to start, at least comparing them with Vim (for Windows), which opens in less than 3-5 secs.

Apart from that, I find them very nice. The UI, plugins, themes, etc

@Atlas the thing is that, for example, sometimes I just want to quickly check some file from other project to see how I did something l need now, and having to wait around 20 secs for that totally gets me out of the zone.
At least in Windows, Notepad sometimes works for that, but other times it messes up with the newlines.

Even though it is by Microsoft still I'm using it for other open source projects. So the notion of Microsoft being not good goes away.

@ironedr That's very true, It just felt very unfamiliar. I guess it's not what I'm looking for. I wanted a code editor that opens really fast, doesn't require a project or solution for debugging and building, and is lightweight. Maybe it's targeted at a different group of developers.
