Would you (and others) be willing to have an extra 20 MB download to get better intellisense? We could potentially work with the PTVS team on better/faster intellisense, but it would require writing that code in .NET which would mean downloading a private copy of .NET for use by the extension.
- chillee 9y agoPersonally, I definitely would. Disk space is not really a particularly limited commodity for me, and considering that VSCode's install footprint is already 200MB+, it's not really a problem. Of course, it's always possible to add some kind of setting for better intellisense, but I suspect most people don't really care too much about the disk size. What I would care about is performance impact/CPU usage. Another potential issue for me is if adding PVTS would force the extension to be closed source like the C++ extension. TL;DR: Definitely
- brettcannon 9y agoPTVS itself is open source so there's no worry there (our whole team does it's work as open source wherever it makes sense, and in this instance it would).
- chillee 9y agoDidn't realize that. In that case, sounds awesome!
- jeffbax 9y agoWithout hesitation, seems like a very worthwhile tradeoff (for any language IMO)
- ronjouch 9y agoYes, without hesitation.
