Overall it looks like a good tool, but a major part of the magic of VB6 is intellisense. Proper, full blown, everything you type, intellisense. And the modern version is phenomenally good these days, compared to C# and typescript it's painful programming in javascript, Ruby and Python as you have to remember so much more minutae and context switch a lot more.
You don't even seem to have basic auto-completion at the mo. Even hinting the names of your declared controls would be a start.
- fokov 10y agoI worked in the Microsoft c# & asp.net world for many years (since 1.1). The company I worked for got acquired and our product essentially killed. Their product is in Java (among other things) and using eclipse. It is horrible. I love every time I go back to c# to write a tool or test harness. Autocomplete and intellisense allow me to barely type and let the code fly out from my fingers getting my production closer to the speed of my head figuring the stuff out. The difference is amazing.
- meredydd 10y agoWe know, and that is most definitely on its way. While we considered the half-way houses you suggest, it's sufficiently important that we don't want to half-ass it. Sublime Text-style autocomplete from other words in the document is nice for power users, but can be actively misleading for newbies, so we didn't want to offer anything except the real thing.
