VSCode is/was a neat editor, but I fear it is slowly morphing to become an overloaded mess.
It was so sleek and lightweight at first it was really a pleasure to use. But performance and bugs seem to increase, even if you don't use many or any plugins at all.
- tehbeard 5y agoI'm curious to know what sort of dev work you do with vscode, it still feels rather snappy to me with ~40 extensions, but perhaps using it for other languages is more of a problem?
- krono 5y ago> ~40 extensions Devs with this many extensions are an OpSec/data governance nightmare! VSCode desperately needs some sort of access policy/permission system for their extensions, and make it more obvious when an extension phones home code or other data its user doesn't directly provide it with. Copilot, for example, straight up sends and uses your code - not just the modifications you've made to the laundered code it provides you with, but any or all of it [1]. 1 https://docs.github.com/en/github/copilot/telemetry-terms https://docs.github.com/en/github/copilot/telemetry-terms
- raxxorrax 5y agoI am an embedded dev that mostly writes C/ASM, but also JS/HTML for visualization, where I use VSCode mostly. It still has decent performance and I will continue using it. I think I have my linters correctly configured so there isn't any huge background scanning of files. But I have the impression the early versions were faster.
