Microsoft Releases Visual Studio Code 1.0, Linux Still Supported

Is it still just Atom with a skin and a Typescript plugin? Has it diverged enough yet that it is worth having both Atom and VS Code installed?

It has nothing to do with Atom and never has. They are both building on Electron but that is just a base platform, you don't call two different QT apps the same thing right?

What does those double quotation marks supposed to mean? The only objectionable part of vscode's openness is the trademark, Firefox vs. Iceweasel esq, issue covered in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/...ment-161792005 . But it's functionally open, gratis and libre.

Now, we could make a case of it being permissive, as opposed to a copyleft license... But that's another matter altogether.

Yeah, I'm also curious as to why Visual Studio Code's development process only deserve to be described as open in quotation marks

Honestly, when it comes to javascript, I still think js2-mode and auto-complete in emacs is excellent. The right amount of feedback for realtime editing, gets out of your way so that you can focus on reasoning about and writing the code.

You don't even call a Qt app a QT app :P
