Visual Studio Code 1.0
VSCode has done the thing that nobody expected MS to do, change the way code was written on Unix&#x2F;Linux.<p>I love linux&#x2F;unix, but the problem always was with the lack of an awesome text editor cum IDE, yep there is eclipse but it is too clunky, I do not like sublime as it isn&#x27;t FOSS (call me crazy), gedit took way too much memory, geany is fast and mean but the UI sucks plus functionality isn&#x27;t that great.<p>Enter VSCode, code writing feels amazing again, not the functional part, but the actual manual part.<p>I do not like vi because I primarily was learning web dev and I didn&#x27;t really get my head around using vi effectively and still learn the web dev, so I am not a emacs&#x2F;vi superstar as I have heard that both of them are fine text editors.<p>but for the people like me who don&#x27;t or can&#x27;t use terminal based editors, VSCode is quite literally the best.<p>The new Che project of Eclipse does seem promising, but the last time I tried installing it, it took around an hour, consumed GBs of my bandwidth and still nothing.<p>I am still Waiting for the day I&#x27;ll be able to program in its entirety on my android device.<p>I used Atom but it is too slow, it is surprising that VScode and atom share the same ancestor but one is blazingly fast and Atom is so damn slow.<p>Edit: yep vscode didn&#x27;t transform coding on unix, it merely changed it to some extent, and why the downvoting? point out where I am wrong, I&#x27;ll get to learn!
