    Does Microsoft understand anything? At all? They suck at making software, they suck at making operating systems, they suck at making genAI, they suck at making game consoles, they’re starting to suck at owning github, what don’t they suck at? What part of their business is done better than anyone else? What end user experience is better on an MS product than anywhere else? They have a shittier alternative to literally everything and nothing truly good.

      They rock at being the default. As much as I love LibreOffice MS office is probably the best office suite I’ve used too.

        You’re talking to a vim user. If you even suggest that a MS product is better I’ll go crazy and crush up my own teeth into dust and then put it in my morning breakfast milk to make Teeth Milk (Tilk)

        You’ve been warned.

        (It’s 6 in the morning and I still haven’t slept I’m really sorry about this but this reply seems really funny to me so I’m posting against my better judgement)

          I am not going to argue if it is better or worse than vim. I actually use both; they both have strengths and weaknesses imo. I use them for different tasks. I will say though that VSCode is extremely popular for programming and for good reasons. It’s a good product, one of the best things Microsoft make.

          Out of interest: why vim and not neovim?

        Vscode being more accessible than Visual doesn’t actually mean anything in the grand scheme of code creation. Both sucks btw.

          Yet VSCode is one of the most popular IDEs with many other IDEs being forks of it.

          I am amazed this is even remotely controversial. It’s one of the few products they make that’s actually good. Just tells you how far off the real world most Lemmy users are lol.

            Popular. So coca cola is the best drink?

            JetBrains are miles ahead visual code for example.

            Funny how you just have to be condescending, almost like you don’t have any real arguments. But keep on being “amazed”, bet you’re “amazed” about ai vibe coding, I mean it is all the rage …

              I actually like JetBrains too. It isn’t mutually exclusive to only like one or the other.

              You haven’t made a single real argument either.

              Here let me make mine:

              VSCode works with a huge range of languages, is very flexible and extendable, and has great support for remote development, development in containers, and even has cloud hosted IDEs based on it (Eclipse Che anyone?). Despite being web based it’s somehow faster/lighter than JetBrains. It’s also less expensive with fully open source versions available.

              Edit: also I wasn’t being condescending until people started attacking me for an incredibly uncontroversial opinion. Your the one being condescending here.

                On mint it actually finds the C# sources in Godot, for example. It also easily “compiles” and launches the soft through Godot, with working debugging. Vscode is a nightmare to set up, there are configs, other files, project files, and other parameters that just aren’t taken into account. Or having, gasp, code in a folder, it just isn’t getting scanned by vscode. You can surely get it to work, but if you don’t use the base boilerplate setup it just doesn’t function well at all.

                I have used visual studio since early 2000 and it was good, then it became bloated, and vscode is IMO just a lighter version of that bloated visual.

                  VSCode and Visual Studio aren’t from the same code base. They aren’t commonly used for the same things, or on the same platforms. Do you think they are comparable because they have similar names?

                  Not understanding how to use the thing doesn’t make it bad. It’s no wonder your confused if you think it’s an alternative to Visual Studio.

                    Now you’re at it again, putting words in my mouth and behind condescending. I used visual studio when you were probably in diapers (see how nice it is when someone is gratiously attacking you?), and who cares what Codebase is used lol, what an asinine remark.
