I agree that it's one of the best products from MS today... I keep hoping that they take this as a model and re-create SQL Management Studio as an Electron app as well (I know about the VS Code extension).
I had tried electron and brackets before VS Code, and was skeptical... other than a few learning curves in the UX, it's been great. I don't think anything compares in terms of the plugin ecosystem either (though might not quite mach sublime).
I'm all day switching between VSCode and Vim. VSCode's support for my toolset (nodejs, es6, jsx, flowtype, mustachejs...) is fantastic, but even with the (fairly good) Vim plugin, I miss Vim. Whenever something doesn't work in Vimified-VSCode as I expect, it breaks my brain and my focus a bit.
What's so great in VSCode that you abandoned something that, I imagine, was embedded in your head already?
