I'm moderately impressed, but I wonder why they would bother. I use VS Code as a powerful text editor and occasionally as a sorta JavaScript IDE. Java and .NET have fantastic IDEs already that are extremely hard to beat.
I don't know if I'm the only one but I don't feel comfortable with Eclipse. It's a little bit bloated for my concern. But then again, under the hood VS Code uses eclipse as well
Nothing. If anything, VS Code is one of the most complete Javascript IDE out there.
But I didn't interpret his comment that way. For me he wasn't saying that there's a better IDE Javascript than VS Code, but that there isn't any real IDE Javascript.
Which I tend to agree with. If we were talking about Typescript things might be different, but as far as Javascript goes, there's nothing on the level of what people are used when they talk about Java/C#/C++ IDEs.
That's what I thought. Eclipse for Java is still a really really good IDE which does everything. I think this is targeted towards the full stack engineers who occasionally move between IDE's.
Interesting. As a long time Visual Studio user, the clumsiness of Eclipse when forced on some projects was one of the things kept me backing away from a return to Java (back in my Java days, we used JBuilder).
Your choices are (1) pay for IntelliJ Ultimate (several hundred) or (2) switch between IDEs or (3) abandon the IDE idea for both languages.
