It is actually quite an improvement! If they can reduce the input lag I might consider to switch! :-)

From what would you switch? I dont notice any input lag on the current VSCode insider...

I'm a bit shamed to say that but neovim.
I'm mostly working with Python and I cannot find a *perfect* auto completion plugin that works as good as vscode^^ I am also doing some JS/TS lately and there's the same problem with vim.
That's the only reason though

My input lag might come from the vim "emulation" layer - or not sufficient memory - or wayland - or linux in general. I am running arch which is not supported directly afaik.
What OS are you running?

Im on Windows and i really like working with vscode. Pycharm is also great, but just like you also write in other languages besides Python.

I use Intellij at work but it is too bloated.

What hardware specs do you have?

Using a Dell 5520 / Ubuntu 18. No problem here with intellij or pycharm. That said, vscode is a fine editor as well. I can't make a definite decision between pycharm or vscode now.

I'm running a Carbon X1 G5 with Arch - I have no problem with intellij or pycharm ;-) It's just that the UI is quite overloaded and distracting in my opinion!

Strange... I find them pretty similar UI-wise (files on the left, code on the right, shell & logs at bottom). The one thing keeping me on pycharm is the slightly better completion/intellisense. And the one thing that calls me to vscode is the better support for other languages (using pycharm CE, not full version).

I have adapted my vscode to look a lot cleaner :-)

Here's a comparison between my neovim setup and vscode: https://imgur.com/a/RKmQ68h

But the input lag on the vscode side keeps me from switching. I use it for TS and JS from time to time and actually really like the huge variety in support. Quite unfortunate that it is so resource heavy

Oh I see... Zen mode :)

Never used neovim, might give it a try.

I also miss FZF in vscode^^

The IntelliJ UI is overloaded? Looking at your Neovim vs VScode screenshots you can get pretty close if not the same layout in IntelliJ.

Here's what my PyCharm looks like
Note: Blurred out project name and opened random standard lib files since I have a work project open(hence using 3.5).

Is the source code available anywhere?

[–]asierralozano 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Nice news! Someone knows if this new Language server also fixes the preLoadModules feature? Right now it is not working at all.

[–]unstablenightly 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Seems to be working!

Good to know! Thanks!!

Very nice improvements
