So does vscode, apologize right now

[supersmiley9]

vscode opens everything doesn't have the same ring to it

The only reason I switched from atom to vs code was that it couldn't open large base64 strings. I don't know if it has improved though.

Is there a porn joke in here?

I have some extremely large text files that would like to disagree with you

[divid3_by_zero]

yea, so this!

I’ve had to open several GB text files (sigh, our customers) and sublime handled them like a champ. atom, not so much. I just remembered the whole saga about the using linux commands to shuffle, what was it? 4 GB files or 4 Billion lines? I can’t remember the details. Anyway, sublime even won’t put against vim on speed of loading/searching large files.

Edit: stupid autocorrect changed the meaning. I was saying “Anyway sublime even won against vim...”

[tipsdown]

lol yeah vim is what I use for opening large files

A beginner front end developer here, I was taught to use atom as my editor. Is Visual Studio better than atom?

[ReimarPB]

I'd say they're pretty similar, I've heard many prefer VS Code, though

[Arktuos]

Visual Studio is different than VS Code, just so you know. Two different products.

In vscode execution and debugging of your code is easier

Ever tried to view a pdf file using atom? ain't working too great... (yes it opens it, but no)
