DEVil66690866d@jestdotty yeah, it doesn't make any sense to call Visual Studio Code "Visual". Unlike its bigger brother it doesn't include any wysiwyg feature for GUI design in its core features.

daniel-wu67666dYeah but VS Code is equally heavy, being made using Electron, running JS for a supposedly native app, what a great idea.

retoor930466dSad, visual studio were such an elite ide once. Last version I used is 2005 I guess. Express editions for Comercial use!

DEVil66690854d@daniel-wu I agree with your point about Electron and on the fact that VSCode might be as heavy as Visual Studio but at least it doesn't lag at every input I throw at it and has decent keybindings.
At home on my Unix-like machines I'd rather use Neovim with LSP and few additional plugins but at work I'm forced to use Windows and I struggle to replicate my Neovim/CLI heavy workflow on it so I decided to settle with VSCode and some PowerShell.
