Still playing catchup with VSCode, but without the integrated debugger and all the rest of its fancy tooling. Is it still mind-numbingly slow as well?
I can't imagine switching back to Atom at this point, or even Sublime. For individual projects I might use IntelliJ or Visual Studio again, but outside of that VSCode is my exclusive editor for all languages for the foreseeable future. I'm very impressed by what Microsoft pulled off to be honest. (Blinking cursor jokes aside, of course)
- slewis 9y agoCan you comment on when/why you might use IntelliJ/VS over VSCode? I've recently switched to VSCode from vim, and haven't really used full IDEs since college (except for small amounts of mobile app development).
- Viper007Bond 9y agoWhen working with large projects, a full blown IDE can really make your life easier. I use PhpStorm for my main work and I'm just in it all day. However VSCode is what I use when I just need to quickly edit something as it's still smarter than a dumb editor.
- int_19h 9y agoCode completion is still generally better in VS, for one.
- reificator 9y agoI don't have a reason to right now, but I'm saying I could imagine having one. More specialized debugging support perhaps? Joining a team with a build system that's easier to work with from {{IDE}}?
- askvictor 9y agoI haven't looked at vscode for a while, but intellij and it's ilk allow me to do everything inside the ide with the same interface. For example, for a django project, it has support for vagrant, SSH, django-admin tasks, remote debugging, DB inspection/modification, virtualenvs, package management, just off the top of my head.
- sixothree 9y agoIMO Visual Studio is an order of magnitude more feature complete than VSCode.
- romanovcode 9y agoIf you are writing C# and using Windows there is no point in not using VS.
- charrondev 9y agoAt least for PHP it still seems to be incredibly slow. This seems slower than some of the other 3rd party Atom addons for autocomplete. Definitely far slower than VSCode and no integrated debugger either.
- flukus 9y ago> but without the integrated debugger Really? Isn't that what makes an IDE an IDE? We've had things like intellisense and refactoring tools in text editors for decades, the only thing that makes Visual Studio an IDE and not a stupidly complicated text editor is the debugging experience.
- Rapzid 9y agoI wish Python were better in vscode; the save to get syntax errors and dog slow processing sucks. This is largely due to the python language services ecosystem(or lack thereof a proper one) I imagine. I try to stick to TypeScript these days as much as possible anyway.
