I hate to be that guy, but I guess I will, because aesthetics are important to me when choosing a tool i'll be using for several hours a day.
I love how Atom looks. Alongside the nicer extension system, the aesthetics of the default theme are what lured me away from Sublime Text.
I sadly can't say the same for Visual Studio Code, which I hear so many great things about, but can't bring myself to use for more than a few minutes. From what i've been able to tell, the only visual customisation available is choosing the syntax colour theme.
- tmzt 11y agoThere is support for full color schemes for the entire UI not just the text colors. There is also support for loading TextMate and Sublime themes. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/customization/themes https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/customization/themes I personally use a nice dark theme, similar to the one shown in that screenshot. There are also a large range of extensions and VS Code is really fast.
- andrewingram 11y agoWhat about changing the appearance of the fairly unpleasant left-most bar (with the code/search/version/debugging switcher), the super in-your-face status bar, etc?
- agnivade 11y agoYou are right. But when you see how much memory Atom takes and compare that to how lightweight Sublime is, you might want to reconsider.
