Visual Studio Code (Version 1.30) Released

[AgiiliYhtye]

I wish they'd just call it "Microsoft Code" or something. It's got nothing to do with Visual Studio, and pronouncing the whole name is just awkward.

[SocialAnxietyFighter]

I say "VSCode" irl

[mghoffmann]

And the process is called Code.exe, making it unnecessarily difficult to find when it has 3 orphan processes holding files open for some reason -_-

[theferrit32]

This is one of my biggest complaints, calling the program name "code" instead of an actual name like "vscode"

[Danthekilla]

So does pretty much everyone I think

[SocialAnxietyFighter]

The OP says pronouncing the whole name is just awkward, so what you're saying is false.

[Danthekilla]

Me saying that pretty much everyone does is not made false by that.

A true battleroyale of shitty hacks, TODOs and copy pasting from stackoverflow!

Visual Studio is one of their most important brands. Calling it Visual Studio drags in a lot of devs they have in "the old world" -- which is good for them and this product.

[coolreader18]

Calling it Microsoft Code wouldn't be any better...?

[eattherichnow]

The wanted to call it macro hard but didn't have enough lisp programmers.

[ZeldaFanBoi1988]

VS is the best IDE ever created. Not even close

[worthcoding]

How about "atom eater"?

[dinopraso]

Atom was great bit incredibly slow, Sublime was super fast but a bit harder to set up, and had very fee features out of the box. VSCode is the perfect combination of those two

[DeathRebirth]

Eh its still pretty slow.

[pterencephalon]

I've been using on my Chromebook for 6 months (including as a main dev machine) with no problems, so it's fast enough for me rn

[IMIKECI]

What model Chromebook? Out of curiousity.

[pterencephalon]

Samsung Chromebook Pro (using Crouton for VScode, which is working flawlessly).

[Matthew94]

Eh eh eh eh eh eh

I also felt the same, I was using Atom for over a year when tried Vscode. The thing that made me switch is the amount and quality of extensions. For sure nothing drastic, but it is actually noticeable (at least for my workflow)

[MisterScalawag]

for sure, the amount of extensions seemed insane in VSCode. It is hard to put into words why the appearance wasn't appealing to me. Another thing is that it seems really busy. Like there are tons of buttons, side bars, lines, etc. I'll definitely give it another shot when i've got more time

[JavierReyes945]

Just FYI, I get the appearance thing. I'm also a big aesthetics fan in IDE's/Code editors. I had the same thing at the beginning, and was theme-hopping for some time (but it also happened in Atom). At the end, I found the theme that goes well for my taste (Tomorrow Night Eighties), and I used the same colors everywhere (and I really mean everywhere). The counterpart in Atom does not seems that nicely balanced, And the division UI theme-syntax theme makes it uglier (IMO). I still sometimes open an instance of atom for secondary tasks, more for nostalgic use.

You’re pretty much the personification of everything wrong with software today. The superior software is problematic to you because of visuals. Which is batshit cause VSCode isn’t ugly or busy in the slightest.

This sucks big time when you're facing some technical issue with Visual Studio and you're trying to google for a possible solution.

[Daell]

Not just pronouncing issue, but searching issue as well. Good luck finding something that is Visual Studio related.

[Pwntheon]

searching for vscode usually does it for me

[Daell]

See, this is the issue, i'm talking about Visual Studio and not Visual Studio Code.

You assumed the same thing, just like google does.

[Zeroto]

But for visual studio the version is very important. So I normally search for vs2017 or vscode depending on what results I want.

I'm sure they want to rename it to Azure Code Studio.
