Every time emacs comes up there's the obligatory hate rant about how they moved on to better more modern tools with vscode being praised but everytime I've tried it, its slower than emacs and crashes more often or just flat out does not work. It seems its only useful for js.
I'm always on the lookout for better tools but I honestly feel there is nothing out there. My requirements are of course an emacs but better, why would anyone switch to worse tools?. It has to be faster, more stable but be customizable, its fine if it lacks features just as long as I'm allowed to add them myself. So far I haven't found anything.
- CJefferson 5y agoWhat are you doing that is making vscode crash? Can you reproduce it? I've never had that happen, and I am sure they would take a bug report.
- wudangmonk 5y agoI usually run under linux, with C or C++ codebases. I try it every 3-6 months based on recommendations I read online, it starts fine but after a while it slows/freezes/crashes. I don't bother to do reports to microsoft anymore, wasted enough time doing that with vs studio.
- iworshipfaangs2 5y agoVS code crashes quite often on linux for me, especially when working with files over ~4k lines.
- xcambar 5y agoDid it ever cross your mind that comments such as yours contribute to the rant you're complaining about? It really is a self-feeding flame war, and I agree with you, it's kinda annoying.
