[Hijacking to talk about VS Code in general]
Moved to VS Code last week. Coming from JetBrains products, the performance is wonderful. On the other hand the quality of language plugins varies quite a bit, though I've gotten the debuggers and jump to definition to work in PHP and Python. Oddly go to definition can be janky in Javascript [1].
There's also a very nice plugin called vscode-journal [2] that works great for quick logging tasks and notes.
Compared to the JetBrains products I am not a fan of the Git interface, but I think Atom shining in this respect could motivate VS Code to provide a more coherent SCM interface.
I am happy to be back to one-editor-to-rule-them-all. For years I used Emacs, but after using the JetBrains language specific IDEs with quality debuggers built in, I gravitated to them. VS Code seems to strike a fine middle ground.
