I have not used an IDE since I ditched Turbo Pascal in middle school, but now I am at a place where everyone and their mother uses VS Code and so I’m giving it a shot.

The thing is, I’m finding the “just works” mantra is not true at all. Nothing is working out of the box. And then for each separate extension I have to figure out how to fix it. Or I just give up and circumvent it by using the terminal.

What’s even the point then?

IDK maybe its a matter of getting used to something new, but I was doing fine with just vim and tmux.

    I’ve not had any of these issues with VSCode and i do use it just for the seamless Remote Development over SSH abilities.

    The learning curve for it is a lot less than Vim even if Vim is likely a much more powerful tool imo
