I loved all the Microsoft products, even their hardware, like Surface&#8230;until I met Linux when I joined Altoros. With Linux, I started to see a new world, open-source applications, a community, people sharing their knowledge, their own code, developers improving software made by other developers. So, I started to think: \u201cMicrosoft is very good, but maybe if they would start to share their code or listening to their users in a different way, they could have much better products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.utn.edu.ar\/es\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">university<\/a>, studying Computer Science, the professors recommended Eclipse as the perfect IDE with so many features: autocompletion, references to the methods definition, linters, and so on. It was so slow and so interested in consuming your RAM! Then I heard about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sublimetext.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sublime Text<\/a>, it was love at first sight: fast, simple, basic, and powerful at the same time, with a lot of plug-ins to extend its functionality.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/windows@2x1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/windows@2x1-1024x516.png\" width=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-59538\" \/><\/a><small>Sublime Text (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sublimetext.com\/blog\/articles\/sublime-text-3-point-0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Image credit<\/a>)<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_first_experience_with_Visual_Studio_Code\"><\/span>My first experience with Visual Studio Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago, a customer told us that they would start using TypeScript, and asked me to take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Visual Studio Code<\/a> editor, because someone had recommended it to him as a good tool to code using TypeScript.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, my first thought was, \u201cVisual Studio? Microsoft? I don\u2019t think so,\u201d but well&#8230;the customer is always right, heh?<\/p>\n<p>So, opened google.com and typed &#8220;Visual Studio Code.&#8221; First things I saw on the <a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a> were: multi-platform, more than 10 thousands stars on GitHub (GitHub? Nice!), and <a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/docs\/editor\/extension-marketplace\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">extensions<\/a>. Very good start! I checked the GitHub project, and the title said, \u201cVisual Studio Code\u2014Open Source.\u201d Then I saw the issues, how organized they were&#8230;I couldn\u2019t wait any longer, let\u2019s install this thing! You just have to download a file, extract it, and you\u2019re ready to go. Easy!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_I_miss_of_Sublime_on_Visual_Studio_Code\"><\/span>What I miss of Sublime on Visual Studio Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Short answer: nothing. I found them pretty similar, both of them are fast, minimalistic, with plug-ins to extend the functionality. Even most of the shortcuts are the same.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true, Visual Studio Code doesn\u2019t have as many plug-ins as Sublime Text, but it has the ones I need.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Visual_Studio_Code\"><\/span>Advantages of Visual Studio Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The thing I love most of Visual Studio Code is the integration with Git and the debug mode, both out-of-the-box. However, there is a bunch of other things, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>linters for JavaScript, CSS, LESS, SASS, and Java<\/li>\n<li>language colorization (syntax highlighting) for numerous languages<\/li>\n<li>live markdown preview (I\u2019m using it to write this post.)<\/li>\n<li>developer tools (designed using Electron Framework)<\/li>\n<li>a way to create your own snippets<\/li>\n<li>user and workspace settings<\/li>\n<li>themes<\/li>\n<li>tasks (autodetection of gulp, grunt, and jake tasks from your project files and a possibility to run them, if you want)<\/li>\n<li>extensions and Extension Manager (Package Control for Sublime Text users)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/extensions-popular1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/extensions-popular1-1024x518.png\" width=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-59532\" \/><\/a><small>Popular VS Code extensions (<a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/docs\/editor\/extension-marketplace\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Image credit<\/a>)<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extensions\"><\/span>Extensions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Visual Studio Code is just starting, but you already have several extensions to use.
