Mmm... Feels more like a loss leader than a technical disruption.
Don’t get more wrong; look at Teams, it clearly works to offer a low/zero cost inferior product that is integrated into existing products, so fair call.
...but all that technical stuff? Oh come on; the jetbrains products are better, at basically everything; the only reason more people dont use them is that you have to actually pay for them.
Sure, vscode starts more quickly on a low end machine when you have no plugins installed, but the quality of plugins varies wildly and so does the memory use / speed of vscode when you have them installed.
...and the tools it offers for most languages is simply... inferior; there simply no other way to describe the support for Java, kotlin, go, rust, python, c#.
So... you know, in some ways it does feel like a disruption going on, but not because of technical reasons; Microsoft is just playing the “we have lots of money” card.
- ex3ndr 6y agoI pay subscription for everything but 99% of time use VS Code. Why? Remote execution for huge typescript project - i moved it to separate mac mini and performance (i can open 5 VS Code without slowing anything at all)
