Or so short, because they didn't fix a damn thing.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

Microsoft fix bugs? 
When did they start doing that?

No need when you can just enhance over them.
User: "Microsoft, have you fixed the xyz bug?"
MS: "Did you see the list of 300 enhancements including new fonts and icons?"
User: "Oh, look at all the shiny."

Of course they wont fix bugs.
They just rename/renumber them. 
Of course they can't put that in the release notes.

That's the same as Jet Brains (IntelliJ IDEA): there are bugs over 8 years old, but instead they add additional functionality.

I tried VSCode and never found it a good solution for my needs. As a pure editor it's worse than VisualStudio + VisualAssistX, for C# or Windows C/C++ code it's worse...
I found it acceptable for Python but I wrote 100 lines of Python in my whole life so take it with a deposit of salt.

We have to because we're coding in javascript/react...
I really enjoy it when the vscode debugger randomly creates a breakpoint in one of the bundle files or randomly deletes a breakpoint on its own, or when you paste code into a file, it automatically scrolls you to the bottom of that file (a true pain when that file is thousands of lines long, or when code thinks there's an error when it obviously isn't but the crappy intellisense simply hasn't caught up with your typing...

All I can say about VS Code is that when it was first introduced, I was rather excited to see a decent "plain" code editor from MS that could load in roughly the same amount of time as Notepad (definitely quicker than Visual Studio itself) when all I needed was to just take a quick look at some source with something that has at least a little bit of intelligence (enough to understand the syntax).
Then they quickly proceeded to throw in everything but the kitchen sink, and it rapidly lost the ability to load quickly. It's still quicker than the full-blown Visual Studio, but it's now slow enough I can't say it serves that purpose anymore...

Notepad++ is my favourite quick editor.

Yeah, I've used Notepad++ for years (I still have it installed on a system or two and keep it up to date), but man, it's still ugly as sin.
|
|
|
|
|
Likewise - it's quick and does the job most of the time.
I still miss brief, though. Sadly we stopped using that years ago.

I find it perfect and clean, I like its interface.
Also the ability to split views and lock the horizontal and or vertical scroll between the two views is absolutely priceless!

That should be a standard feature for all editors.
Heck all controls should inherit that right from Windows itself.

I used Notepad++ for a while (until I'd read that an extension was hacked and introduced malware); then I tried SublimeText - but it had way more than I needed (still paid a donation); started using VS Code: I keep the number of extensions to a minimum. Of course, I have Visual Studio for larger, complex projects.

Maybe you should ditch a few extensions you don't really need. On my system (aged 4+ yrs) it starts up and loads my main project in about 2-3 seconds.
|
|
|
|
|
If there's any "extension I don't really need", they come bundled with VS Code itself. How do I know what it needs vs what's superfluous? And if it's superfluous, why is it included with a default setup (is my real rant...)?
|
|
|
|
|
Agreed, MS includes too much in the basic setup, especially copilot seems to be a performance killer. That said, you can simply try to un-install any extension, if it's really needed, or something else depends on it you'll be notified. Additionally, there are plenty ways to troubleshoot extension performance and issues, but that assumes you're willing to invest some time to figure them out which may not be practical for you.

Only up to a certain point. If VSCode could be made to load as quickly as Notepad, it'd be worth quite a bit of research time.

👋 all
Do you find yourself in a PR battle where you discuss if you should use const or const ref, or otherwise discuss why you use using to reduce the name of certain types, I can get so frustrated sometimes when I develop a feature or new code, I have it tested and all work and then you have this colleague who wants everything to be how he or she is seeing it and in the end it doesn’t matter as you spent more time discussing or changing it for their joy, code wise it would end up as the same code for the compiler.

What I can say for sure is a concise code is much more readable and that's why if there are several references made to get to a certain type then it's good to use usings.
If I had a dev who wasn't convinced with this reason alone, I'd do it myself.
