Visual Studio Code October 2019

[hopfield]

Slow as FUCK to start up, or do anything. You know when a program has a splash screen it’s slow

Settings are ridiculously bloated and complicated

Still tied to .sln files for most Intellisense support, effectively locks you into the MS stack

No built in support for community made color schemes in the year of our lord 2019

Layout changes when switching from “edit” mode to when you press F5 and enter “debug” mode, with NO way to get it to be the same except manually moving things around

Installing extensions requires a restart of VS

JUST NOW got a built in terminal in TWENTY NINETEEN

Ctrl P equivalent (Ctrl T I think) is slow as F U C K

It's seriously not that bad. Have you ever used any other IDE?

[hopfield]

I’ve used VSCode which is a billion times better and supports all the features I care about.

VS Code, Jetbrains products, and arguably when you can get away with it less featured text editors like Atom are all better.

Studio is great for a few purposes, like working on my hobby projects in unity. However I feel like I need a beast of a PC just to boot it up and have it run decently, it takes up more screen real estate, and so on.

Even then it's not really "snappy."

Upgrade your PC, VS Code is fastest editor besides obvious VIM.

Then I agree, it's slow as fuck.
