I see lot speak for VSCode, I still somehow not that comfortable with VSCode than I was with IntelliJ.

As a full stack, I looking for a sweet spot between Java and Javascript.

There are lot of good things about VSCode.

I will talk about bad and looking for suggestion how to improve my experience in there.

  • VSCode is not good large codebase. Its slow. it revs up my CPU.
  • Java classpath scan is killing.
  • Annoying popups from plugins ( which does not tell me what it wants me to do )
  • Keybindings are great but still I need to learn VSCode keys like command palette and sometimes i dont know what i am looking for.

so still I have a love/hate relationship VSCode. I am sticking with VSCode/IntelliJ for now.
