I've only recently started using VSCode and I'm quickly becoming a fan. It's amazingly fast and seems to be highly functional and well thought out. What are the key things you like about VSCode compared to what you are using now/have used in the past.
It's popular. But comparing to WebStorm it really falls behind. The most important problem I had is that it does not support debugging node clusters. Any app with several node workers cannot be debugged. Another pitfall is that it fails with many popular loggers and you simply have no access to logging during debug time. Last but not least, debugging again, it fails many times with breakpoints on transpiled and source mapped, where Jetbrains got it right. It's my quick editor replacing sublime or notepad++, but when it comes to heavy lifting I'm in favor of Webstorm.
I didn't like it. Fat, bloated, slow, and 90%+ of the 'features' are crap I'd just turn off anyways as it gets in my damned way.
I used sublime and atom before switching to visual studio.I love how it integrates with git such that i can see all changes i made to files before i commit.Makes it easier to notice if you touched a file you were not supposed to or revert to how it was before you made changes.The extensions are also pretty cool and its very light on the machine
Actively maintained. Faster than Atom, better than Sublime. I enjoy all the built in features as well.
