On a lighter note, I wonder if I'm the only one that gets a mild sense of FOMO when I see the welcome page that lists out the features they have released after every update? Like these guys are cranking out so many new things and I just don't have the time to try them out :(

I get it a little. As a professional it's my job to keep on top of advancements in tooling, so I try to watch the change log for my tools and pick 1-2 things to try. Some of them stick, some of them don't.

I actually enjoy the monthly release notes. Usually, most of the features do not affect me, but sometimes there are one or two gems that really make me appreciate the active development on VSCode.

  Yeah me too! I get excited about new features and to get a feel for where the software is going. At times when I feel impressed by the devs that maintain some of my favourite software I take a moment to drop them an email or tweet (now toot) to thank them and congratulate them on major releases. It only takes a small moment of my time but genuine appreciation can really brighten peoples days.

Yeah. I get the same with Chrome. It's like, can you just slow down a little?

Not really, since it doesn't feel like they listen to the users or developer community on features that people want to see roll out. It's a lot of icing on a pretty well decorated cake at the moment. I won't get excited by a VSCode update until they fix the webview crash that happens after every update (0) and support multiple windows in the same workspace (1). The latter has been the most requested feature for 6 years!
