C# is great. Also VS Code.. how many Microsoft haters on HN daily drive it? I'd have to assume quite a few! The Remote SSH extension has been a game changer for how I do development.

I like VSCode too. I use it for Clojure, Python, and C#, which I am working in this year and haven't for a very, very long time. I was pleasantly surprised at the progress it has made. Ironically compared to Windows, MS has been willing to kill backward compatibility more to improve .NET to make it more cross-platform, something that must come from a very different part of the company, probably the one that got the "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS" mandate. I make no apologies for their history, but I like these tools and I like them much better than Java, which also has its place. (This isn't a throwaway comment, notice I said I use Clojure, it's my favorite, which runs on the JVM.)

  VS Code is pretty great, and I agree the remote dev extensions (ssh) are hands down the best feature added. I also like that it had a directory tree and the integrated terminal early on, that's what got me hooked. C# is nice, but the experience in VS Code is sub-par and I think it's the VS (not code) managers that are responsible for that state of being.

    Editors have had directory trees and integrated terminals for many years, why is that something you find special?

      I'm not familiar with another code editor with an integrated terminal, at least not one as complete as VS Code's before VS Code. I could be mistaken though.

  other than both being electron apps (and admittedly electron was made for atom), Atom and VS Code share no common codebase.

  Those are two separate products that were developed independently. Both use Electron and are text-editors, but that's where the similarity ends.
