This looks really good but there is one thing I find irritating: This software, an IDE, comes with a privacy statement [0]:<p>Some excerpts:<p>--<p>> We collect information about how you interact with our products and services.

I have been using VS Code for a year or so and it really is worth checking it out if you do JavaScript development. It has very nice IntelliSense, out of the box linting, and the best git integration I've seen in any IDE, period.<p>It also is a lot faster than Atom, Atom is fairly fast in OS X, not so much in Windows. VS Code is super snappy in any OS.<p>I have mostly use it for Angular and Node development, a downside is that it feels very inferior to Atom and Sublime when it comes to React development. I hope React support gets improved.
This is a pretty serious changelist for a monthly release cadence. I was a big fan of Sublime Text for a while but began looking elsewhere when we went such a long time with no updates. Atom and VSC both seem to release much faster; they're already very good and I can't wait to see where they are in a year or two.
VSC is a killer app for Javascript development. But for Python? Nope. What happened to the promise of PTVS coming to VSC?

Does anyone know how to open multiple folders in the same editor window? Either I'm stupid or the VSCode developers have completely overlooked this.
I've been loving VS Code for Angular 2 development. Does anyone know if they're planning to support syntax highlighting and intellisense for inline templates?
I like it so far, but the syntax highlighting in JS leaves a lot to be desired. Keys in object literals aren't colored, for instance. A feature of sublime text does which is also nice is coloring properties on objects which are functions.<p>It's a stupid gripe to have, but it makes it very hard to migrate, as my eyes are just used to seeing more distinction.
I know Atom is the more popular Electron based editor and it seems to have more plugins, however Code's JS debugging is really painless to set up and use.<p>I'm sure someone else is going to point out a good Atom plugin but VS Code's JS debugging "just works".
I've started and stopped using VS Code multiple times. Each time so far I've given up because of poor vim support - although it is improving. So I end up going back to using VS with the excellent vsvim plugin. Hopefully VS Code can get to parity soon.
Tabs in the next milestone! Finally!<p>I've used VS Code on a couple of projects and liked it except for the lack of tabs.<p>I think I could move to this as my main editor once tabs is implemented.
