Since it first popped up on my radar last summer, VSCode has quickly become my favorite editor. A combination of great features that are a pain/poorly done in other editors (intellisense for many languages, a proper debugger, an integrated terminal that's just as fast as my actual terminal (I've actually gotten into the workflow of opening up huge files in vim in the integrated terminal), etc.) make VSCode amazing.

Especially when you compare the rate of improvement of VSCode to Sublime or Atom, VSCode is on an upwards track, and they've clearly captured major mindshare. (https://stackoverflow.com/insights/survey/2017#technology-mo...)

In addition, VSCodeVim is among the best in terms of vim plugins that I've used (VSVim is still better), and I thought it was amazing that Microsoft assigned an official employee to work on it.

Disclaimer: I have contributed code to the VSCodeVim extension, but that was because I liked the plugin so much (that, and there was a bug that really bothered me).

I've contributed to VSCodeVim as well (remember way back when undoing a long insert would delete each character one at a time? I fixed that!) it's actually pretty approachable and nice to contribute to.
