Oh well. Let's see what the hype is all about.. devRant made me do it. 😂

Hehe, you asked for it. :)

The latex workshop extension ist amazing if you like latex. This was my initial reason for using vs code btw.

You're really going to like it. They're the best ide's for intellisense and autocompletion. Big resource consumers though, so not ideal on low end computers. Use VSCode for JS.

I'm using it every day for abou two years, if you need help, just ping me 😉
It is a really great IDE, but some languages, like PHP do not have the greatest support, because the plugins sometimes only add basic language support.

VS Code is perfect for Webdevs: TS, JS, HTML, CSS, LESS, SCSS.
The build environment needs a tiny bit of configuration first, but after that it is really awesome.

Plugin recommendations:
- Gitlens
- Git History (git log)
- Markdown
- Git Project Manager (fast switching of projects)

I have a lot more, but need to look it up 😉

you'll love it :) have fun using it!

It's a really solid editor. Been using it for 2 years as well now and it's integrated Node debugging with Chrome is fantastic. Even with a slew of plugins startup us fast. I also have Cmder as the integrated terminal.

I use the Material Theme Dark with Material icons but theirs so many to pick from!

As for some recommended plugins, here's what Im using:

Apache Conf
Beautify
Bulma
Debugger for Chrome
Ember Cli in VSC
Git Blame
Git History
Gitignore
Handlebars
HTML CSS Support
Log File Highlighter
Markdown all in one
Minify
NPM
Prettify JSON
Project Manager
Settings Sync
Travis CI Status
Twig
VSCode Browser Sync
WebPack
WebPack progress
Yarn

@Vip3rDev Glad to see another dev who uses cmder as the vscode integrated terminal :)

@Vip3rDev So you are using VSCode as your main OS 😂

@finiteAutomaton Uh, well I mean I'm on Win10 as my OS but, yeah I rarely open my IDE now that I have customized VSC in the way that I have. It's my go to editor for all things. Even with that list of extensions above, it loads within 2sec and it's streamlined my dev work. I really ❤️ integrated Node debugging.

Its really snappier than Atom which made me switch back to it, too.
