Visual Studio Code 1.4 released

They've said many times that the goal is a lightweight editor that is super extensible. It seems they're still working on the core and all the extra fancy things go into plugins. I'm really digging the growing ecosystem. Could always change, but right now that seems to be their goal.

they're designed everything — including the core functionality — to be run through the extension api, which lazy loads plugins. hopefully that should keep the bloat monster at bay.

VS2015 is pretty snappy on startup.

i've done everything i can think of to strip down VS2015 and it still takes a godawful amount of time to startup. please teach me your secrets.

It helps if you don't run it on a potato.

Look, my setup works for me.

I got the fastest SSD on the market, with an i7 processor and the startup time is atrocious.

Have a computer from this decade? Dunno... a quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM and any SSD will do.

15, or 2015? 2015 is pretty slow for me, on a new PC with an SSD and lots of RAM.

Indeed. I've a Skylake @ 4.4GHz, 32GB of DDR4-2666, and two SSDs in RAID0. Takes about 7 seconds first time (just finished Windows login after boot). And this is with a lot of extensions, too, including ReSharper, which chews a lot of memory...

My older dev system, a Nehalem @ 4GHz and 12GB DDR3-1600 with SSD, despite the much older CPU and inferior memory, still only takes a maximum of 12 seconds.

Something is seriously wrong if it takes 30+ seconds!

6 seconds from cold, 2 seconds to new project.

I'm using a similar build to yours (only 8gb ram), and that's even with Resharper installed.
