I feel that VSCode is missing the number one critical feature of Emacs: the ability to inspect and change the program as it's running.
- trey-jones 5y agoAnd don't forget the number two critical feature: the ability to call yourself an Emacs user!
- novocantico 5y agoSure you can. Open up your VS Code extension in a VS Code window and live-debug it. I'd bet the process is probably very similar when editing VS Code yourself, but the point of the extension system is that you usually shouldn't have to.
- antiframe 5y agoThat's cool. The one thing I missed in VS Code when I last used it a few years ago was a link to the implementation in the documentation of each function. Maybe I will give it a try again someday. But honestly giving up Magit, org-mode, slime, and elpy will be hard.
- novocantico 5y agoOne pretty decent Magit alternative I found was lazygit. For a long time after quitting Magit/Emacs I just used git's CLI, but lazygit is pretty great.
