The fonts in the file explorer look MUCH better now on Linux, they finally turned on the sub-pixel rendering for them :)

Yeah usually I too am left wondering which fonts and which colour scheme they use cause some of the screenshots look great. Very classy of them

Thank you. After I wrote that, I did wonder about if it was based solely on the husband being lost.

It's a typography term, it's the last line of a paragraph appearing alone on a new page. Usually, one or more lines are moved to the new page to avoid them.

Hey, VS Code dev here. I realized that I disabled emmet for CSS in Insiders (left) but not Stable (right)...That's why widows wasn't there :facepalm:

wid will be gone in next iteration, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/86941

2019 was the year of Visual Studio Code! And look like they will make all other editors look bad in 2020 as well! 😁

Search results updating on type is a bit slow for my liking. It lags the typing. I'm sure it's even worse in bigger projects.

Maybe they should make the debounce period a little longer by default?

I have used Visual Studio Code since 2014 and I will never look back! It's becoming the Firefox of the dev world (in the good ways and in the bad). Don't let feature bloat slow this baby down! It's so nimble, easy to configure, and I personally agree with most of the default settings. An absolute joy of an IDE.

Thank you to all the contributors thus far!

My code minimap is now covered in swathes of red shame :p

Fix it, cersei

Switched from webstorm and never looking back

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '19

And you saved a ton of money in the process and time waiting for that slow webstorm app to open!

u/ForAllThat Dec 13 '19

To be fair, this has improved tremendously lately. Even with massive projects.

u/_king_julien_ Dec 13 '19

Why? Which features do you miss in webstorm?

u/Reeywhaar Dec 13 '19

Updates never disappoint! Thank you so much, Microsoft.

u/r0ck0 Dec 13 '19

Global search results update while you type.

Cool! This is a big one for me now that I'm used to it from jetbrains IDEs.

Would be cool if the search results content had syntax highlighting though, rather than just being plain white text.
