1. atom is slow and clunky it hangs when I paste a 10000 line sql insert statements 2. sublime text: sorry didn't try

vscode's benifits:

blazingly fast modern design works on linux/mac too little features like ctrl+P which lets you to jump to functions rather than play with files, I didn't know any other editor which allowed this feature to be there.

It is a great way to code if you don't want or can't use vi/emacs, I don't have the luxury to learn all the nook and corners of emacs, I started using Go plugin in vscode and today I have built go apps and written partially completed book: http://github.com/thewhitetulip/web-dev-golang-anti-textbook...

i tried giving vi a chance, but nope. couldn't bear it for more than a day, large webapps require a UI IDE, vscode > everything else I tried till now

Literally every other popular code editor supports some form of "go to symbol".

"Some other go to symbol" It is obvious I didn't use intellij and pycharm and stuff like that, but the ones I did use, kate, gedit, eclipse, notepad++ didn't let me drop into a function "With ease" yeah you can use that feature in eclipse, but it isn't with ease, maybe it is because I am so biased for vscode. We'll never know, but the thing is I feel productive typing into vscode than I ever had with some other editor I tried.

Go ahead and downvote it, but after all every programmer worth his/her salt does realize that the choice of IDE/text editor is ultimately a personal opinion, so long as you as a person are comfortable using it, that is good for you, it does not make a tad bit of difference to anyone else in the world.

I downvoted you for your brutal incuriosity, not for your opinion.
