VSCode is fast, stable, and the plugin ecosystem really beats Sublime Text at this point. I was skeptical because Microsoft but it is hands down my favorite editor.



How can anyone say VSCode is fast, and then compare it to Sublime Text ? They are not even in the same order of magnitude.

VSCode is definitely fast enough for most uses cases, but I still wish it was as fast as Sublime Text, from Scrolling Frame-rate to response time.


Agreed. I use VS Code now because I needed syntax support for new es7+ and graphql.

But I miss sublimes speed it was unmatched, and the jump to symbol using @ or # in a file is worthless in vs code because it waits to calculate until you use it.


I'm also skeptical of microsoft products, but they have come a long way since getting their new CEO. I've gained a lot of respect from them for better integration with non-windows platforms.


Someone said big companies are like aircraft carriers, they take a long time to change course and travel to the right destination, but if they do, once they are there they bring massive impact compared to more nimble and smaller sea vehicles.


MS developer tools have always been great, independently of whatever mess Windows gets itself into.


expect for a feature that keeps a lot of people on other editors (recordable macros) https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/4490


Agreed, it's bizarre that this feature is missing and apparently impossible to implement as an extension. It's been a fundamental feature of every serious programmers' editor for over 30 years!


I don’t use macros but it looks like I should tbh
