VSCode has been a HUGE deal. Being able to use the same editor for all your languages and all your operating systems is just enormous to most developers.

- fomine3 5y agoVSCode Remote Development is a revolution. I with it open sourced.
- Groxx 5y agoIt really is a huge amount better than pretty much everything else, yeah. ... now if only the language servers it relies on could be anywhere near as polished :| rust-analyzer is a stunning example of what's possible with language services, gopls is only barely functional enough to be worth running.
