No matter how hard MS wants to push it, those don't change. If I need a text editor I use one, if I need a full IDE I use those. This Frankenstein abomination has zero purpose.
- cassianoleal 3y agoThe vast majority of people I work with use VS Code, from recent graduates to very senior and seasoned devs, myself included. I don't like Microsoft, and before VS Code I had high hopes for Atom. VS Code became nearly everything I wanted on an editor. I could never get used to "full IDEs". I find them awkward and I always feel constrained by them, not in a good way. I experience zero typing latency on VS Code (and I'm very sensitive to that). Granted, memory usage could be better but along with the browser it's my main work tool so I don't mind much that it uses a considerable amount, as long as it doesn't bog down my machine. Of course, to each their own. I hate Microsoft as much as the next person and I wish someone would step in and give me a modular editor with extensive LSP support and an excellent extensions marketplace to replace it. I would consider paying for such a product if it was adequate. I had high hopes that Jetbrains Fleet would be that product, but after having tried its pre-release a few times I'm not holding my breath. I say all this as a former hardcore emacs user.
