Atom = 2014

VSCode = 2015
Am I missing something? Sure, MS had some preview online IDE thing before VSCode came out, but that's not the same thing obviously.
- devy 11y agoYes you are. Please read the original blog post. [1][2] Visual Studio code was originated from "Monaco" team, dated back in 2013. Eletron (formally Atom-shell) was dated in Feb-March 2014.[3] [1] http://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2016/04/14/vscode-1.0 http://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2016/04/14/vscode-1.0 [2] http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/04/microsofts-new-code-editor-is-built-on-googles-chromium/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/04/micros...

- ultramancool 11y agoYeah, but point is, it wasn't released until 2015. Which is the part that matters. Who cares if they started developing something tangentially related to it 2 years earlier. Atom came out to the public first, and that's what matters in terms of plugins and such. I never heard anything about people making Monaco plugins, did you? VSCode was basically released because Electron came out. From the Atom devs. So while Monaco may have come first, VSCode certainly did not. And Monaco didn't offer the sort of things that VSCode and Atom focus on - namely community plugins.
- serge2k 11y agoSo VS Code is based on Electron, but Electron came out the year after it? That makes sense. I use things from the future all the time. /s
