Sometimes I just want to read code with highlighting. I want to open the project and search for some text in all the files.
I don't want to wait for IntelliJ to take 30 seconds to open.
- _underfl0w_ 6y agoYou could use grep with vim or nano for quick searches and viewing without even leaving your terminal. Why bother with a GUI at all for that use case?

But, the discussion is not about whats the best way for searching for text in a file set. I am just talking about whats the use case in which I prefer VSCode over IntelliJ.
