Nothing wrong with vscode, it's a tool that has its use-cases, no need to gatekeep.
Eclipse on the other hand...................
Hell, even just as a text editor its pretty nifty. Its to notepad++ what notepad++ is to notepad.
I often just call it notepad# as a joke
One really great use i got from it was when I need search for a line of text but didn't know which file it was. So I could just open the folder in vscode and search them all
My brother in christ, back when i was still using vs, i was tearing my hair off when i needed to google something relating to vs. Every search result was for vs code.
Notepad# would have been a great freaking name for code.
Agreed, it’s a bit of a nightmare especially as all of the newer features for vs22 are already implemented in code
My dude just search Microsoft visual studio when looking for vs
then it will still show microsoft visual studio code results
I've never had that issue. I did have the former when just doing visual studio. Buy doing Microsoft in front consistently gets me the ide instead of code.
Where humor?
For real, I grew up on notepad.
VSCode is the matrix by comparison
As a vim elitist I'd like to insert myself without anyone's consent
As a neovim elitist i would like to Insert myself too
There's nothing more enlightening than ditching the neovim distribution and building your first curated nvimrc
It's like having your own baby
As a JetBrains enjoyer, I'd like to showcase my ego and pride
I like to think I’m not entry level but I use vscode. I guess I’m wrong 😑

Thats a horrible attempt then. Everyone seems to think its "vs code = noobs"
That's stupid. VScode is highly extendable and is stable. It can make for a great curated workflow with just a bit of typescript knowledge
It's the equivalent of vim for people who love mice
As in, it looked like op was making said argument. I use vsc myself.
It also has huge overhead and Microsoft is listening to you.
VS code is fine, using it doesn't make you a worse developer, I use it.
But come on, let's not insult vim.
Yea it has big brother telemetry. But you have vscodium, the same binaries with the telemetry and Microsoft blobs taken out
And how did I insult vim? Both are great
"huge overhead' huge on what lol. I used to run it on a 10 year old laptop with an i3 and 6 gigs of ram without issues. I doubt anyone with anything semi-modern is gonna be having performance issues with any Code Editor or IDE outside of maybe a long load time for the more advanced ones.
VS code has a humongous overhead for a code editor. That is a fact.
It might not be an issue for you, but that doesn't make it any less true.
Who is it an issue for? Sure it's not as performant as Vim, but we're not in the 90s, 16 gigs of RAM is cheap and I doubt any CPU released in the last decade will struggle with it.
Having a bigger overhead than vim is true, it doesn't have a bigger overhead than JetBrains suite or VS in my own experience and function wise those are a lot closer than Vim or other pure code editors are.
It doesn't have a bigger overhead than VS or Jetbrains out of the box.
By the time you've added plugins for VSCode to have half the features of an IDE, the overhead is pretty close.
Unless you never turn off any extensions not really in my experience, I'm sure if you leave several ones for languages you're not using in every project it will, but you can set those per project.
At that point you're also sitting with an IDE, not just a code editor.
I've never understood hate for VS code. It's pretty decent and you don't need to learn to use it like VIM. You can learn some keybinds or install addons if you want but you don't need to
I mean, it's a Microsoft product. That's a con no matter how good the product is.
So is github and C#
Yeah, and Microsoft is a con for both of those.

Then why is your title?
What about wallpaper

Mods, pin this guy against the wall
Use whatever tools you like that get the job done.
Who cares as long as it works and you get to do what you need to in a way you want to.
Imaging this person's disgust when they see me use nano to make minor code changes 😆
Vim/notepad user trying not to tell anyone that he uses vim for 0.00001 seconds
My dad has been programming since 1978. You have likely used his code in several different capacities, from oscilloscopes to millions of servers to the sound on your PC. Hes currently working at a FAANG contributing to a highly respected SQL variant…
His knowledge of C and assembly is wrote-the-book level.
Vscode on a macbook.
But vsc bad.
Work with one of the most knowledgable people I've ever met in HFT. Incredible low level knowledge on CPU architecture, Networking, and High Performance C++. He uses VsCode because it gets the job done with minimal fuss or maintenace, the code is what matters. IDE choice is personal preference and thinking you're special for using VIM or emacs or something is just stupid.
That and the people I see on here with their fancy customised nvim setups that break every release.. often don't have a job. Kinda ironic to be elitist in that case.
Yup. Dad’s setup is hilariously minimal. Base color theme. As little as possible.
This is the guy that laughed in an interview when presented with 3sum, said “are you serious”, and still got the job.
I can't even use vim plugins because our work stations are unplugged from internet due to secrecy rules
Vscode has some decent functionality out the box without extensions
Yeah I get you, I have a vimrc with a couple of native vim customisations that I port across to servers I remote into since they don't have public internet access either, but thats just for quick scripts on the fly.
I mainly use VsCode when working on a codebase because its minimal effort to maintain. Takes 5 minutes to get my usual extensions and its all plug and play.
Never knew it was a beginner tool? I have 5 years of experience and still use it for everything, Golang/JS/Python/Java/PHP
I have used it for everything from my uni days to Job.
It's a beginner tool in that most beginners nowadays are gonna start with it, it's free, has add-ons for most every if not every language and is easy to set up while being pretty lightweight. It became pretty dominant because it's convenient and free.
That doesn't mean it's bad for anyone else, most people I know in the industry use it.

Oh ok
I must say I prefer something lightweight over having an IDE load for 8 minutes just to make a 12 line long bash script
Perhaps explain the joke a bit more?
I think you are pointing towards the cringe of beginners who make it their entire personality. e.g python beginner using Kali linux and Pycharm to write guessing game and then posts the screenshot of it on IG or smth
Idk what else to think about it. ASCII art is always cool and vscode is also goated editor. (The new sublime text)
If you manage to move on, Neovim awaits you brother
I'm trying to ditch vscode because ms is pulling too much garbage with it
Lmao m$ shills are already getting at me
wallpaper acquired.

I would appreciate that. Saves loading it into gimp or krita to remove

what is that token lol
Token's headers:
No clue what's the content though and too lazy to restore it beyond
��������C��l�b�)J�LB Ԇd���sThank you!
ms paint is so underrated
I run Linux on everything but my work laptop, so not an option.
ahhh man. i reccomend jspaint.app as an alternative tho
Plz do
