I&#x27;m now using VS: Code as my daily editor, which is kind of surprising to me! To copy a comment I posted the other day:<p>It&#x27;s amazing to see how fast VS: Code is picking up extensions with full autocomplete, go-to definition, and other IDE-styled features. Atom&#x27;s equivalents are rarely as nice, unless you&#x27;re using Nuclide because they wrote their own damned framework inside the editor to achieve those features! I think it&#x27;s because VS: Code&#x27;s APIs are built around exposing those sorts of features nicely and simply.<p>- OCaml [0]: IntelliSense, go-to-definition, interactive debugging. This plugin is so well done that I feel VS Code is the best editor for my OCaml work now!<p>- Nim [1]: IntelliSense, go-to-definition, linting, Nimble building integration<p>- Purescript [2]: IntelliSense, compilation, linting, quick fixes for common errors, and type inspection<p>Seriously, more and more are added every day, which is just awesome. I&#x27;m still annoyed at small UI parts of VS: Code, but honestly the functionality and speed make it second to none in my opinion.<p>The only thing I&#x27;m left wanting is more powerful PHP IntelliSense, as the current implementation (and the Crane extension) are still lacking compared to, say, Komodo Edit (or SublimeCodeIntel which uses Komodo Edit&#x27;s CodeIntel handling)<p>---<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.visualstudio.com&#x2F;items?itemName=hackwaly.ocaml" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.visualstudio.com&#x2F;items?itemName=hackwaly...</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.visualstudio.com&#x2F;items?itemName=kosz78.nim" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.visualstudio.com&#x2F;items?itemName=kosz78.n...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.visualstudio.com&#x2F;items?itemName=nwolverson.ide-purescript" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.visualstudio.com&#x2F;items?itemName=nwolvers...</a>
