I need to migrate to VS Code. Sublime crawls working in NFS mounted repos over VPN, even though transfer speeds over the VPN are ~100Mbit
I heard it has some remote code project doodad over SSH that performs well. Of course I'll need to compile it myself and blackhole microsofts analytics garbage on my network... -
@lungdart You could try using the open source implementation of VSCode with the Microsoft analytics removed. All extensions seem to work the same tho.

ars140813yI use sublime as a notepad that I can use for anything and everything, including temporary notes.
Except coding. -
i actually dislike VS code, except for when i'm playing around with my fictional language trying to figure out its future syntax and features.
in that case it's nice to have js-like highlighting, and the UI is clean and visually pleasing (since everything's hidden in the its-not-a-commandline-we-swear commandbar), and... that's it.
for any actual work i very much dislike it because it has the footprint of Visual Studio, and pretends to be an IDE, while... it's not (afaik). it's a text editor with syntax highlighting and bindings to lots of 3rdparty commandline utilities and compilers, which tries to pretend (unsuccessfuly) that it's a single unified thing.
i might be wrong because i still haven't bothered to try and use it properly for anything proper, but... i can't even imagine doing anything proper in it. -
@Midnight-shcode I've used it for proper things. And while it's great there's always a better option. For example, it's good for Python but Pycharm is better in terms of project management and if you want to do something simple in python you have other alternatives.
I wouldn't use it for C# development when JetBrains Rider exist even though theres ducumentatuon for C# development with it. Same for C and C++. I have it fully set up on my personal machine and partially for work. It was amazing for a good while and still is for many use cases, but the alternatives have caught up. -
@DreEleven
so you basically confirmed what i said.
nice for linuxy crap, fancy overbown text editor for everything else.
i'm surprised i was right, to be honest.
True to an extent 😆
