I tried VS Code for over a year and consider it severely lacking features that most IDEs had fifteen years ago. GitHub should reconsider whether they really want to be reminding everyone that MSFT owns them.
- tmccrary55 5y agoSame here. I've been told by various people how fast and efficient it is but it uses as much memory as a Windows VM and the code completion is screwed up 50% of the time for MS tech (and worse for others). It is usable just not very good, yet.
- jollybean 5y agoYes, they leave this out too often. And - I find the constant change in configurations very confusing, and the plugins also have scant documentation. I can tell 'what is installed' but not exactly how they work together. Having tied out JetBrains after years away - I'm now permanently back in the IDE camp. For whatever reason they are now 'faster' and so the extra bulk of features comes pretty much for free, and they are just well optimized for whatever you're trying to do. Java on VSCode is frankly full of little snags. C++ same. VSCode is a handy go-to tool for quickly looking at code from any language. For pilfering through some open-source Java, Dart, Rust, that little C project, Python ... the VS is it. But for mainline projects, a good IDE is it.
