It's a code editor, not an IDE... they never claimed otherwise.
Sure, there are extensions now that almost make it an IDE (integrated debugger, support for some build systems, etc.) but if you need the real thing, get the real thing.
For debugging native code I always bring up Visual Studio or WinDBG, but as an editor, VSCode is significantly lighter and faster (despite it being built on Electron) than full VS.
- Kye 5y agoThe I in IDE is key. Modern Visual Studio, the IDE, will even provide a fully integrated development environment for open source stuff. Trying to do this with a code editor like VSCode is like trying to carry plywood on a VW Beetle. It can do it, but it looks kind of funny, and maybe you should have just rented the truck/IDE from the store...
