high-quality GUI Back in the day when SourceTree had the original built-in multiple repsitory overview it had something no other tool had (I think) and for the rest it was workable, but slow. Then they basically rewrote it, replaced the w

No matter how much I admire it technically, from an ethical point of view things look a bit different and one might wonder if going forward with this and introducing yet another large scale industry abusing animals is really the best thing

I don't think the author misses that particular point. It's just that the author's goals are obviously different and way beyond just having documentation apparently. I mean, quote: You should be able to hide all the definiti

Apart from those 2 issues, a smaller annoyance but I really wish 'Reopen in Container' would just reuse the tab. At least I've personally not once felt the need to keep the original tab open.

You shouldn't need intellisense to see that a property doesn't exist in an object. So what do you do instead? Not just for intellisense but all other possible code completion solutions? Does that mean you always manually open a
