Intellij does a lot, and VS Code is very light. Some people prefer an IDE that does a lot, but some don't care and benefit from VSC being lightweight. Also, some projects are janky, and VS Code is easier to get to ignore that jank. Plus, I find VS Code's hotkeys to be much more intuitive as a long-time Windows user and hotkey addict.
No matter what I do locally, the final word is a pipeline build. A command line is closer to that than either IDE, so at times I've really appreciated VS Code mostly getting out of my way.
- kaba0 3y ago> VSC - lightweight Are we talking about the same thing?
- theanonymousone 3y agoIf you've seen IntelliJ, you won't have any problem calling VSCode lightweight :D
- theanonymousone 3y agoExactly. Being lightweight is important when you are running the thing on some cheap VPS. Also the multi-lunguality, since you don't have "room" for multiple IDEs.
- ezst 3y ago> VS Code is very light Did you actually measure that? In my experience, once you've added the bare minimum of language support/LSP that's far from the case (and at comparable memory footprint VSC ends up doing less and is just less capable)
- delecti 3y agoHonestly I didn't care about any objective measure, development "felt" less laggy in VSC.
