I have used vim for years and I was tasked with making an Electron app for a client so I tried vscode... And I love it! I still use vim for sysadmin things but it has been the first thing Microsoft has made since the original Natural Keyboard that I absolutely love. It is good. I recommend it to others. I hate bloated editors and it is good... No config/setup process either - the defaults are enough!
- tracker1 10y agoI do tweak a few of the defaults. I use it on windows, linux and mac and they vary, so I like them consistent (linux line endings by default, 2-spaces, etc). I agree that it's one of the best products from MS today... I keep hoping that they take this as a model and re-create SQL Management Studio as an Electron app as well (I know about the VS Code extension). I had tried electron and brackets before VS Code, and was skeptical... other than a few learning curves in the UX, it's been great. I don't think anything compares in terms of the plugin ecosystem either (though might not quite mach sublime).
- ikurei 10y agoI'm very curious: Don't you miss Vim? After using it for years, doesn't editing code in anything else feel wrong? I'm all day switching between VSCode and Vim. VSCode's support for my toolset (nodejs, es6, jsx, flowtype, mustachejs...) is fantastic, but even with the (fairly good) Vim plugin, I miss Vim. Whenever something doesn't work in Vimified-VSCode as I expect, it breaks my brain and my focus a bit. What's so great in VSCode that you abandoned something that, I imagine, was embedded in your head already?
