7 years ago Hi Theo -
I haven't seen that Visual Studio Code Stream. But it looks like a really cool tool and will be checking it out!
As far as visual studio goes though I'm really happy to know you at least gave it a shot. On the program itself, I will say this: I've been working with it for about 14 years (since the beta) and I still am only familiar with about 20% of what it can really do - but its the most important 20% in my opinion. And I can say confidently that no other code editor out there can hold a stick to the ease & flexibility of use Visual Studio provides the developer.
Need to commit a file? right click > commit > add comments - done. Need to get the latest version? right click the project, source control > get latest, done. Want to know where a function you're using is defined? highlight it and hit F12 - opens the function definition in a sub window. Don't remember what all the members of a particular class/object are? type out the name press period and it will show you a list of all the properties and functions of the object. These are just a few examples of what visual studio can do that makes coding such a joy
Initial set up can be a pain, but once you've learned the joys of it any and all other editors will pale in comparison.
Right James?

I have been an on-and-off user of Microsoft 'Visual' products from their inception.
One interesting aspect is that Visual Studio can breed to new products faster than they can euthanize old products.
I recently spent a bit of time exploring some parts of Visual Studio - the 2015 version available from here: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/
Needless to say I did not explore the full 8 gig of stuff. In fact after several hours of the app saying 'Wait! Wait! There's more!! --- to install' I called it quits. Coping with endless black boxes of code is not what I do.
The other day, however, I was clued in on another stream - the Visual Studio Code stream.

I am wondering:
Are any of you are playing with this code base?
If so, what might your opinions might be?
