Is it just me or VSCode is dauntingly complex? There are so many configuration options and I often get lost in it.
I've been using Sublime Text for a decade and it has kept the scope creep to a minimum. I've also used JetBrains IDEs and while there is a massive amount of complexity, it is well organized I think. I just get anxiety from launching VSCode, may be it is because of not being familiar with it, I don't know.
- aaomidi 5y agoThe configuration is complex, but in reality you don't need to touch any of the configuration for most development workflows. The configuration also syncs itself if you login with GitHub, so you're not going to keep having to do this or juggle files around. In reality it's not that different from juggling around dotfiles and the various configurations that go into other software.
- stuff4ben 5y agoI don't use any of the features of VSCode. I just use it as a simple text editor. I'm mainly doing yaml files, bash scripts, and Jenkins pipelines, so I don't need any fancy features. I just "alias vs='code .'" and then "vs" in any directory I have code. It's just a fancy text editor to me that also shows git statuses as well which is nice.
- matkoniecz 5y agoIn Sublime Text I needed to config things very often. In VSCode (VSCodium to be more specific) I very rarely need to configure things. From my doffiles git log - two config changes this year so far.
