Wow, don't ever use VSCode then! There are hovering diacritics and proofing marks everywhere!
It does real-time syntax checking and quick compilation to check interfaces (at least with TypeScript, JS, HTML, pug, css, Vue, and NodeJS).
I resisted fancy editors for years, as I found them crazy annoying, but over the past few months I've grown to adore VSCode because it has made me about 50% more efficient: I don't have to run the app to find errors, the IDE finds them for me, and it works on Win10, macOS and Linux. It is extremely context aware of my project.
It's like JetBrains but free (or Android Developer Studio, also made by JetBrains...).
- strogonoff 6y agoI actually use VSC in Vim mode for TypeScript work as I couldn’t get Vim to nicely show verbose deeply nested typing hints (maybe someone knows a way?). There is a “mono white” theme, it still shades a few keywords in grey but otherwise is pretty good.
