Comment on Ask HN: Why do you like Visual Studio Code?

Comments

For me, fast and simple, but extensible. Using Jetbrains/VS/Eclipse is ok if you use it every day for a single technology, but some people need a text editor + IDE they can use for multiple technologies which kind of works for all.

e.g. I use code to view .net, node, web projects, browsing Andoid code and other languages. I could use VS but it takes ages to start up and I find the search better in Code. Mostly I'm reading rather than writing code though.

Also +1 I used the plugin for creating azure functions recently and it worked 1st time and well even for someone not used to .net or azure.
