  Real Time Test Discovery is a very welcome feature. The Python improvements sound interesting too, does anyone that uses Visual Studio for Python development care to comment what the experience is like? How does VS compare to other popular Python IDEs (e.g. PyCharm)?

    Having used both at past employers, I'd say they are equivalent. If you could change the theme and coloring to look the same, I'm not sure you could be able to tell which is which.

  At this point I'm very happy with VS Code, but would love to see more UI integration points for plugins and rendering. I'm not sure what this would take, IFrames, etc... as right now plugin UX points seem to be very limited. If the VS Code guys can get that improved, I don't see why most of the features in VS proper couldn't be commercial extensions to VS Code. VS for Mac is such a fragile install that I only finished it once and never used it much. While this comment isn't specific to VS proper, I just frankly don't miss it, and the VS Mac is so much of an also ran at this point. VS Code may not have all the features, but it's very good and beyond pretty much any other code editor at this point. It just needs better UI integrations imho for plugin/extension authors.
