Wow this is almost exactly what they're trying to do. I made the transition recently to vscode and am enjoying it over atom for js development.

Would be nice to see a demo or try it without giving GitHub auth.

Wow, this is good. I'm guessing highlighting support could be improved -- I opened a Haskell file and it was just plain text.

One remarkable benefit for me is the fact that this plays nice with Vimperator.
