tldr; light weight Visual Studio for OSX/Windows/Linux with support for dozens of languages, intellisense (autocomplete), refactoring, debugging (yes, real debugging), git integration and it is free


So ... pretty much perfect?


except for the part where it's written in Javascript and is thus a bloated memory hog, yes.


worth it... this is a specialist application, I dont mind developers having another chunk of memory for a better development environment.


As a developer I will mind if it's not fast though, or if it does not behave like other native apps. The fact that it uses more memory is not a fact that stands alone either. The reason it uses more memory is because it has to do more. Because it has to do more, it's always going to be slower.

So far on Fedora 21, VSCode is a slow and buggy experience. Atom was never as good as any of the native dev tools that I've used IMO. As a matter of fact, I can't think of one application developed with web tech that performs as well as it's native counterpart.


Thanks. Everything I wanted to see its there :)


not all langs have autocomplete yet, but I hope it will be soon.

special request for Rust autocompletion, please!


"Support for" maybe, but it's mainly meant for Javascript/HTML.


I don't think that's accurate, given that C# is also a first-class citizen in terms of features
