I regularly open folders as projects and the intellij (pycharm in my case) IDE creates it as a project without hassle. Just add a bit of a script to cleanup any ide project cruft it creates and I'd say you're mostly there. Compared to all I get from a real ide, VSCode is like a stone age dinosaur.
- Kiro 4y agoSounds horrible. Just let me open a folder without it being a project or having to use a script to clean up stuff (wtf?).
- kalleboo 4y agoI use an IntelliJ IDE and open folders all the time and it's never created any cruft to clean up. I think that only shows up if you start making project configurations (like file watchers to run preprocessors for web languages)
- evol262 4y agoIt still makes a .idea folder to add to .gitignore or clean up, just as .vscode makes a .vscode folder. I don't see this as a lot different than MacOS spraying .DS_STORE files everywhere. It's not a big deal to add to .gitignore, but it does leave a fingerprint. It's just that tries to determine reasonable defaults if the path doesn't exist instead of Netbeans/Eclipse/whatever forcing you to pick them with a wizard if you want any of the "real" features to work.
- lostmsu 4y agoVS Code creates a project though: .vscode folder.
- nickersonm 4y agoOnly if you make workspace-specific settings changes.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoor be forced to bend to their idea of what a project is and which build tools I need to be using, I concur 100%.
