I'm using it on linux for C, and it's not so good:
1. trouble differentiating C from C++ (even when it's a .c file)
2. intelisense - to many matches and (unlike in studio) it shows no affinity to prefer the last used match or/and locals
3. seems to ignore/misunderstand some include files (ex. everything defined in signal.h shows up as undefined)
4. often wrong choices in conditional compilation blocks so even more not-undefined's
5. no autoindentation of code blocks - just follows the last line
plus points: pretty decent code coloring, and it's not vi[m]... are we in insert mode? doh!

But, as always, if someone is thinking of migrating to new tools, they should focus primarily on the cons[^] of the migration, and not on on-line "Hey, I like it!" comments.
Nothing is perfect for every circumstance.

If it's Eclipse, I would definitely want it to vanish. 
Look at it positively, It's a competition. The one that does it best, will get the user base.
Now to beat VS Code, something else will come up. And we'd be the beneficiaries, we'll have great new options option to pick from

So I owe the government £96.
They've just sent me a form with my payment options. There's only one option. I have to pay by cheque.
Ffs.never wrote a cheque in my life. Never even owned a cheque book.
Wondering if I should fax it to the c***s.
(Just realised that cheque is a ridiculous spelling and check is probably the best correction the yanks did to our language)

"Cheque" probably comes from "exchequer". Unless you intend to replace the Chancellor of the Exchequer with the Chancellor of the Exchecker…

So why not spell it Kwestion too then?
In fact why not replace all 'q's with 'k's: Kwit, Kwick? Kueue perhaps? Kwasi? Kwantity?

I would say at least half of us on this site know very will about paying bills with checks. We also remember life very well without the internet.
With that said, paying by check "can be" the safest for the entity you owe money too. Believe it or not, it is extremely difficult to forge paper checks (personal checks) accurately. Credit cards can be stolen, and cash cannot be tracked via an electronic system and can be counterfeit.
Some places here in the States require a cashier's check, which you get from your bank, as that is even safer than a personal check.

Does your bank have a bill pay option? I can have my Credit Union send a check to anyone. That might be easier than ordering checks.

Finally took the time to play around with the rPi. For giggles, got Postgres loaded on it, DotNet Core 2.2, got C# talking to Postgres both on the rPi and from my Windows laptop, rPi boots from an external 2TB drive, etc.
And yes, article forthcoming. A few more things deal with first based on what I'm trying to accomplish.

Published! .NET Core nginx, and Postgres with EF on an rPi
Actually went faster than I expected, given I had to learn a whole bunch of stuff, including the basics of nginx!

Yes, but there's something cool about carrying around an entire computer complete with web server, database, and a real working website implemented in C# and .NET Core in my shirt pocket. It's a geek thing.  All for $80 if you exclude the cost of the external drive.
