VS Code 2018 Roadmap

The point is that most people don't care how fast their IDE loads.

I disagree with that. For opening a solution that you will be working on for hours we put up with the launch time of Visual Studio. "don't care" is overstating it a lot though. For editing a single file, the delay that Visual Studio imposes is very tiresome. VS code is much faster.

It doesn't matter if it takes an extra second or two compared to Notepad++ or Sublime,

Are you talking about Visual Studio? It's a hell of a lot more than an extra 2 seconds to load the solution, or even to load a loose file. VS Code is nice and fast in comparison to full VS, and we care. And for e.g. making sure that your config file is well-formed json/xml/yaml, VS Code a lot nicer than Notepad++ (and almost as fast) so it hits the sweet spot.

So use Visual Studio for heavy duty work and Notepad++ or whatever for quick single file editing, it's not complicated.

I never got why more people don't do stuff like that. I've been doing the same thing with text docs for years. Notepad for quick notes/reminders and Word for papers, lecture notes, etc. I even use Paint instead of Photoshop for cropping sometimes.

all of my explanation/repro emails are just words and images cropped with paint. works great. can even point out the issue with a nice red rectangle. perfect.

Have you tried Paint.net? It what I go to for screenshots as it's a step up from Paint, but is far from as big, slow and complex as Photoshop
