![]() ![]() I’m a frontend developer and I work with styles preprocessors, JS frameworks like vue.js and of course I use linters.īelow are some of the common extensions VS Code has, that I use day-to-day: In the event you have problems with triggering expansion, a scenario that happened to me, you can try to solve it with this line added to config. Emmet abbreviations and snippet expansions are enabled by default in html, haml, jade, slim, jsx, xml, xsl, css, scss, sass, less and stylus files. VS code has it as an OOTB feature and for me that’s a big PLUS. In my opinion you shouldn’t have to search for and install emmet, I mean if you work with html & css you’ll know it’s a deadly must-have tool. Even the super lightweight ST3 crashes sometimes. I’ve been using it for about a two months now and it has never crashed once. And I’ve never experienced it freezing while working, not even once. It’s fast with every action it’s required to complete, including the opening and loading of project folders. So against my first dependency for a good editor it had passed the test. ![]() The first hour of using VS code was pretty awesome, it was fast and WOW, extremely intuitive! Aside from the speed I was immediately struck by its very user friendly UI. I mean just the fact that a person like wesbos started using it, it was just a matter of time before it really took off (in my humble opinion at least). So I did and despite a few reservations, I decided I just had to try it. Of course, when you decide to change editors you need to weigh the pain of configuring and tuning current workstreams with what the new editor means in terms of ease of use and whether or not it really would make your job easier. To be honest, I’ve always felt a little prejudiced against Microsoft - I mean, hello Internet Explorer ?. The truth is, after I switched to Atom my pet peeve was how it frequently would freeze during fast file switching ( Cmd + p ).Ī few months ago I noticed a bit of buzz on Twitter with some interesting screenshots showing off an editor called Visual Studio Code. As I said above Sublime Text is really fast, if a little boring (at least to me anyway) and the perks are limited, added to that it doesn’t have a rich community. I chose Atom because of its variety in extensions ( themes ) and transparency used while searching through them and configuring. I’ve been using Atom for a really long time and prior to that, I used Sublime Text, still one of the leaders in speed and performance nomination IMHO. I’ve never thought of a day that I give Microsoft credit for an Open source project, but It seems the day has come.We all know that for a developer their editor or IDE, is their main tool and it’s the one used most during the developing process. Still not as many plugins as Atom or Sublime.Multiple licenses for the same version, Microsoft license for the executables and MIT for the source code.Community is still not as mature as atom or sublime.Main features come prebundled with vscode (Terminal, Git, Code format, debugging, etc…).It is very fast and have all main features needed for an editor and some IDE features as well for a fast work flow. Code autofromat/beautify isn’t standalone (It uses external tools to do the real formatting) which may take extra steps to install and configure.Some packages breaks a lot and sometimes makes Atom Unusable.Some important features don’t come bundled with Atom (eg:Terminal) and needs to be installed through a package.Amazing Community and large number of plugins. ![]() So my stack was : Remote-FTP, Git Plus, Atom Beautify, Terminal Plus and some languages support (JS, PHP, etc…) Atom is created by GitHub and backed by an enormous community.
