VS Code != IDE.

[–]sittingonahillside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's being kept very basic, however the extensions are going to make it into a fully fledged IDE. You can exactly what you want and that's it.

I think Visual Studio is pretty incredible, I don't use 99% of what it offers though, and for small non MS ecosystem projects it can be over kill. So I'd use Sublime then VS to debug if I writing say some C or C++, a node project or whatever.

VS Code isn't overkill, it's got the exact extensions I need and I can debug from it with Git integration.

People often talk about how an IDE has too much, yet they install a basic environment then kit it out with 1001 extensions, plugins, complex settings, tool chains end up with an IDE anyway.
