I have been using Sublime Text since version 2 as my primary text and code editor. I have used VS Code on and off since the initial release almost 2 years ago. Not until recently that I have fully switched to VS Code. No more wasting so much time customizing every little details of my code editor before I am happy to write my first line of code. Learned a hard lesson in developer productivity I have seen over and over again developer spending unnecessary time bike-shedding on code editor/IDE settings for code style and formatting and what not. I think VS Code has the essential and modern features of a code editor out of the box that most developers need to write their code comfortably. VS Code achieved a balanced set of features so we don't have to go out immediately to look for third-party extensions. Yeah, I know, no one code editor can fit all developer's needs.
