A prime example of the resurgence and return to relevance of Microsoft. I've been using VS Code on and off for several months now and it just gets better and better with every update. At some point over the last month, VS Code has become my daily driver (I think the introduction of code folding and Atom's decision to completely and un-recoverably freeze on me were the final factors in my decision). It's fast, powerful and extensible. Looking forward to continued development now that the 1.0 release has happened on schedule.

@frassmith This was going to be my question. Is there any reason to stick with Atom at all?

@frassmith What do you do, if you don't mind my asking? Just wondering if it might replace Atom for me too :)

@ryanjamurphy Well, I was using Atom. It froze on me. I've restarted the app and my macbook several times since then and Atom is still borked. I'm guessing the only fix is to uninstall and reinstall Atom. I'll probably do the first half and forget the second.

@hugojmd I work for ChinaNetCloud. I'm a programmer working on backend systems, mainly in PHP and occasionally in Python. When I do full web development, projects, I tend to use Coda II for its publishing support, but for the backend stuff, VS Code has become my goto editor. Over the last couple of years, I've also tried Atom, Brackets and Sublime but I VS Code hit's the sweet spot for me right now.

@frassmith I grabbed VS Code a while back - just to clarify, this is a new 1.0 release? I didn't realise I was using a beta

@rossdcurrie Yes, it just hit v 1.0. Like you, I did a double take, because I thought I was already using the final release. However, with hindsight, I recalled that the roadmap always pointed to an April release of 1.0.

@ryanjamurphy @frassmith In my opinion VS Code has some of the best autocomplete I have ever experienced for JavaScript - it is truly amazing. Having said that, I think that Atom (with the right setup) is still better for React.js development. But VS Code is fantastic no doubt.
