Visual Studio Code is currently my favorite editor. Fast, informative intellisense, great debugging environment, good git integration, faster than Atom, etc.

I love the git integration so much that when I'm preparing to commit on a visual studio (proper) project I'll type `CODE .` in powershell or the package manager console to inspect and edit my code before pushing.

Agreed, I kind of wish that MS could come up with a way to get rebase/squash and pull --rebase working in the editor, having a 3-way merge in VS Code would be awesome... unfortunately it doesn't work well as a system editor choice for git cli.

Been very happy with VS Code, though I wish I could revert to pre-tabs file behavior, I'd like the space back... it took getting used to, but the list switcher was a better UX imho.

Adding the following to your User Settings should get you pretty close:

  {
    "workbench.editor.showTabs": false,
    "workbench.editor.enablePreview": false,
    "workbench.editor.enablePreviewFromQuickOpen": false,
    // ...
  }

Cool, thanks, anything to re-integrate left/middle/right into a single list again?

Not that I've found.

Fast? Really? What are you comparing it to?

> faster than Atom, etc

"Fast, informative intellisense" not fast in the general sense. Also, faster than Atom .
