Visual Studio Code does not yet support JSX, nor properly supports ES6, so it's currently unusable to modern Javascript devs. Which is a shame, because it has a lot of potential! I'll be watching this closely to see when it becomes usable in my workflow.

I haven't tried in plain JavaScript, but I know you can if you use TypeScript. This has been working for me for awhile now.

Dev on the Code team here. Not true. Both JSX (http://i.imgur.com/01pAAsl.png http://i.imgur.com/01pAAsl.png & http://i.imgur.com/mRhOx8M.png http://i.imgur.com/mRhOx8M.png) and ES6 (http://i.imgur.com/UOurihn.png http://i.imgur.com/UOurihn.png) are supported in all their glory. Note that if you are editing an ES6 project, you need to create a jsconfig.json file with at least these contents, in order to let the language services know you are doing ES6: { "compilerOptions": { "target": "ES6" } }

  Hi! I'm having trouble with both of these. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/95 https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/95 https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/81 https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/81 Also can you comment on why a jsconfig.json file is needed, as opposed to some in-editor setting, or reading from the config files the user already has installed, like an .eslintrc?

  Do you just come out of the woodwork to blame users and then ignore their requests for help?

    I think it was terseness rather than rudeness. But of course I can't be 100% sure.

Even better: it also supports TSX (http://tinyurl.com/okgagvs http://tinyurl.com/okgagvs)

No, it does properly support both of those and I've been happily using those features in VS Code for a while now. It might actually be the best editor for JSX.
