Care to elaborate how VS Code is miles ahead of Jetbrains offerings?
Same reason other IDEs exist. VS Code is just the tip of the iceberg.
Visual Studio Code is less than a full featured IDE, and more of a very advanced code editor with told integration... The ui is much more minimalist in VS Code than full VS, Eclipse etc.It's not that it doesn't do the job, it's just a different workflow.As it stands, VS Code is probably the best tool for JS/Node projects or today imho. And from what I've seen, one of the better options with plugins for go and rust.It's also available for Windows, Mac and L
VS Code isn’t really an IDE, it’s more of a text editor with a much stronger extension story than Sublime’s.
VSCode is a M$ initiative. Give it a couple years.
As in VSCode never got to parity, or vice versa?
If yout think about it, Jetbrains is more a counter part to Visual Studio then VSCode.Vscode was more a advanced text editor to compete with atom. But I don`t see it losing it`s grip of the market anytime soon. Theres lot of tools that use vscode as base, that will be difficult for them to convert, like platformio IDE for example.
Better. It's like a VS.Code that you can turn into a Visual Studio (if needed) within the same application.
VSCode runs circles around Atom and Jetbrains both.
Just use jetbrains. VScode has properietary features which aren't available to other editors too.
