Still better than the vast majority of "app store"-type release notes, which are invariably some variation of:
Release Notes: Bug fixes and performance improvements.
Sometimes with slightly more embellishment, but it usually translates to the same meaningless BS.

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."

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...

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 doesnβt 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.

My code may not be concise in the same way yours is.

It's not about what it looks like to the compiler - it's about what it looks like to the *team*.
The cure is to establish reasonably rigid coding standards, and make sure everyone adheres to them.

I strongly believe that it should be less rigid and more flexible and who donβt want to have a const signature if you are not changing the value, I feel the itβs more due to the fact of junior developers fresh out of school believing we are building a kernel or cathedral if you wish.

Nope the standards should be quite rigid, the senior developer setting the standards should be open to new ideas and concepts with a willingness to implement them. Junior and new hires (and everyone else) should be encouraged to put forward suggestions.

Either you have coding guidelines or you do not.
We have guidelines, they dates from the 80s and 90s (seriously).
The mantra has been don't change anything. (even crazy bad tab/spaces everywhere)
But...
When I go in a file to do work in it, I clean it up and bring it to more modern best practices as much as the underlying code allows me to do.
I wish I could go deeper, but time and money are not infinite.
