I don't like VSCode because it's sort of an underhanded way to nudge developers back into the Microsoft world.

Yes, you can use it without getting suckered into using Microsoft services, but still.. ick!

The fact that it's made with electron is pretty cool.

but you can't open multiple projects at at time like eclipse or intellij :-(

Really? that's kind of sad.

I'm a Intellij fanboy myself. Other editors ( sublime text, vs code, etc ) make me feel like i'm roughing it..

It's made by Microsoft yes, but in no way does it "nudge developers back into the Microsoft world". It's just a good editor.

First class support for typescript, azure, .net, and Microsoft Office comes off as a nudging to me.

Nudging would be adding Clippy.

Nudging would be when you're writing something in JavaScript or Elm, to have it pop up a notification that says "Hey, I see you making this cool web app, you should try writing it with TypeScript!"

Oh. So yeah adding Clippy.
