We need you for VS Code! #126

Closed redtopia closed 5 years ago

redtopia commented 5 years ago

Please forgive me for posting this non-issue/issue...

Without knowing how feasible it is for you to collaborate, I'm posting this issue to draw your attention to the need for improvements to the VS Code CFML extension (https://github.com/KamasamaK/vscode-cfml). The VS Code CFML extension is pretty good, but there are some annoying issues with it that you fixed a long time ago, and it doesn't seem to be getting a lot of love (as far as commits and releases go).

I think the CFML devs on VS Code would greatly benefit from your work, and if there's any way for you to get involved in a CFML extension for VS Code, the community would be better off.

I have been a die-hard ST3 user for many years, I recently switched over to VS Code a few months ago because imho I think it's better than ST3. I don't expect my opinion to be shared by everyone, but in my circles it seems to be the editor of choice, and according to the Stack Overflow 2018 survey, it has become the top editor: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018#technology-_-most-popular-development-environments

I appreciate the confidence you have in me :) That said, I don't think this is likely to happen.

I still use ST3 as my editor. I do like VS Code a lot, and it would be my next choice after ST. But I don't have time to devote to an extension that I am not using myself, and currently ST is what I use.

And even if I switched to VS Code, I don't know that I would/could get involved. I think Matthew Brown has done a very good job with the extension - better than I could. And he certainly knows VS Code way better than I do. I guess I think the best way forward is to raise more issues for him to look at - it is a lot easier to deal with bugs if they are documented and easily reproducible.
