- wink 8y agoI meant the suggested addons on that page, not VS Code per se. I'm also using it as my main editor on my Windows box at home where don't do serious development. My only real annoyance is that I seem to run into multiple addons that can't be properly installed for one reason or another and sometimes "Ignore this" doesn't work and then the popup gets stuck and you can't see the top three lines... Apart from that it's been really nice for Rust, Go, and Python.

- wink 8y agoYeah I just noticed. Just reinstalled the 64bit version instead of the 32bit one. (Apparently it's one of those applications that act a bit wonky if you're using multiple users on Windows.. it wasn't in the start menu and the Binary was in AppData, so I thought I'd need to reinstall it - but first I had to uninstall the old one.. same with Discord...)
- donttrack 8y agoI am interested in the 'almost' part. What are you missing?
- satysin 8y agoI like the idea of using VS Code for my C and C++ work but last time I looked at it I lost interest looking at the length of the setup page for tasks.json and all that to get a C++ build toolchain configured. Is this still the case? Why can it not be more automatic like pretty much every other editor for supporting GCC or cl.exe? What is your setup? Is it system wide or do you configure it manually for each project/workspace/folder?
