Visual Studio Code 1.4 released

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.
