You should use Sublime, which is what you want to use!

  1. You can hide either or both of Activity Bar and Primary Side Bar! Primary Side Bar can be toggled by default keyboard binding. You said it does not exist in Sublime and Atom, so it would be Activity Bar.
  2. Why not using Go to file... (sometimes called as Quick file navigation)? (Cmd+P or CMD+P) For me with this, I rarely use File Explore.
  3. Totally agree with you! But you can hide most of them.
  4. I have never tried, but you cane try it out to disable code completion very easily!

A quarter of a century ago, I preferred "XBOX" (I have never had a real Xbox though).

hi, thank you for answering.

I use cmd+p and cmd+shift+p and many other shortcuts all the time. I only use file explorer sidebar to create new file/move files to specific folder. i just found it difficult to create file to specific folder using shortcut.

I admit I have a problem. I just don't like switching things off. I rather have a clean IDE and install what I need.

Let's say, a phone preinstall with apps I don't use vs another phone with just phone functions and app store.

I just hate it when someone decided that, user gonna need this, let's pre-install everything for every one and if they don't need it, let them google to find a way to turn if off.

I really understand your point! But VSCode is now opensourced so YOU can change the default others decided.

That is why I love OPENSOURCED VSCode while it was from Microsoft. Note I do not hate Microsoft.

I don't like many things Microsoft does, but I understand it's hard to please every one when it comes to software.

I think, even if VSCode is not opensourced by Microsoft, I still won't enjoy using it.

Let's hope one day some other IDE catchup. VSCode is leading in the market and I think it's bad not having competitors.
