I'm an old school BBEdit user and switched to sublime about a year ago. BBEdit was the shots but everyone keeps passing it up. So switched to sublime. It's good but it never really made me feel like wow this shitz fuckjng awesome.

Today, VSC after my brief 30 minutes with it and I'm like wow! This is modern, easy to mod and I'm liking it.

So, what's y'all opinion?

Same problem here, I hate to admit it, but this thing is pretty good.

I didn't like Atom. MS really nailed this. And I'm a long term MS basher. I'm really impressed.

Why not Intellij idea?

I used PhpStorm for a bit and found it to be really slow and un-intuitive compared with Netbeans. Eclipse is kinda sucky too, but I haven't used it seriously in a few years so things could have changed. I don't have a Windows machine so I've no way to try VSC.

Only savages use Windows for software development

0 u/WhiteRonin [OP] 11 Jul 2017 16:58

I know :-(

I've hated windows since 3.0 :-)

I have a trashcan on my desk at work. And a hackintosh at home.

I'm running VSC on a Mac :-)

I'd start a revolt if I have to use Windows.

well shit there is a linux version https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/?dv=linux64_deb

0 u/WhiteRonin [OP] 11 Jul 2017 17:51

Secret: vsc is actually an ide. Or should I say a slim version IDE. They probably don't advertise this because hipsters will have shit fits.

I have a license for phpStorm.

It's bulky, takes time to start up and it really doesn't like have 3-4 different projects open at once. I work in several projects during the day on and off, so I don't like opening and shutting things down -- I loose my edit history too.

I can't get around the lack of Ctrl+Click for multiple cursors. It can do it via Alt+Click, but I've grown far too used to Ctrl+Click and don't want to re-train myself. Also, Sublime still performs much better with large files.

0 u/WhiteRonin [OP] 11 Jul 2017 17:53

Shit ... It bogs down on the files? This would suck ....

I get sublime to spaz too though ;-)

BBedit never bogged down.

VS is for niggers. MSFT is run by a curry nigger.

Real programmers use VIM.

That's like sitting in the LA traffic nursing your clutch waiting to inch forward every few minutes.

For LA traffic, I want an automatic.

:-p

This. minus all the racist shit.

Looks cool for web development but I'd be worried about trusting my code to MS with all their telemetry etc. Being open source, though, hopefully someone's already combed through it for all that stuff?

0 u/WhiteRonin [OP] 13 Jul 2017 01:26

It's for web dev. I wouldn't use it as a word replacement.

I'm a MS hater but I doubt try put that kind of code into it.

At work I've been using asp.net core webapi + angular on Ubuntu with visual studio code as my editor. So far I'm impressed with visual studio code.

0 u/WhiteRonin [OP] 22 Jul 2017 04:30

I like it but ...

Have you noticed any funkiness with it? It still seems beta to me. So, I'm in sublime for work and VSC at home.
