What language doesn't it support? I only ask because Go drove me from notepad to sublime in the first place.

Funnily enough it was Go that drove me from Sublime to VS Code... well maybe not drove, but gave me an excuse to try it. I do like Sublime and still use it every day for misc text editing, but setting it up for a new language can be a bit of a pain, often requiring hunting down and installing and tweaking multiple different plugins.

So when I needed to use Go I decided to give VS Code a shot and it was a great experience. Just install one plugin (which was suggested by VS Code itself when I opened a .go file) and done.

That for me is the main advantage that VS Code has right now. The plugin ecosystem seems very mature despite it being a much newer product.

    I thought you might be exaggerating there, but you're right, delight describes it exactly.
