Why was the icon color changed from blue to orange? Does Microsoft Word have color ownership of that particular blue? (then again, the color of the Insiders build is Excel Green)

It's not even a real Visual Studio, not to mention it's mostly used for writing scripts rather than code. So color can be any at this point.

Nor is Visual Studio for Mac - it's just repackaged Xamarin Studio.

+1 would love to hear the reasoning behind it. From an outsider's view it seems like a change-for-change's sake.

kbumsik• 9 years ago

Maybe to avoid confusion with the real Visual Studio? I pernsonally don’t like the new logo. It feels like one of AutoCAD product.

There's a GitHub issue here:

Just a thank you to the VS Code team for the awesome work (and really love the new Terminal updates).

I wish vscode could be a better PHP editor, some of the features I read are only applicable to JavaScript

joshmanders2• 9 years ago

What are you missing? I recently switched from Atom to VSCode and do both PHP and JavaScript in it without issues.

vyrotek• 9 years ago

Good stuff. It's attention to needs like "Import path quick suggestions" and "Folding Regions" that make VSCode a pleasure to use.

Great release as always. Thank you Microsoft and contributors!

Does VS Code have something similar to Sublime's Ctrl-Q macros?

moomin• 9 years ago

A tip for anyone who's not used it: it's one of the best powershell environments I've seen.

The new terminal looks great. Was there anything done to make it compatible with accessibility tools?

Tyriar• 9 years ago

Hi I'm on the VS Code team, this is one of the next focuses for the terminal.

enturn2• 9 years ago

Excellent! Thanks for your reply. I look forward to learning how it's implemented.

Visual Studio Code: Wellp, at least it's better than Atom.

You're just a little bit special, aren't you?

MrDosu• 9 years ago

Rant: Now they just need to get their shit together and get VS2017 to perform at least as well as 2015 again for large codebases or i'm sticking with Rider...

Visual Studio Code team and Visual Studio team are completely separate, AFAIK.

NuSkooler• 9 years ago

Another post to just say thank you for this great product! Awesome work!

VS Code rulz.

What I really want is to be able to use vscode in a client server architecture. Kind of like a forwarded session, but with client code living on the client machine. Plugins, linters, etc, all living and running on the server. VNC is too slow on hires monitors.

jschrf• 9 years ago

The architecture largely if not entirely supports that. Extensions and language services in VS Code exchange a flavour of JSON-RPC 2 and can run over HTTP.

Check out "Monaco" (https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor). Easy to drop into any project, and easy to back with OOTB or remote services. I use it in a few different projects for live config editing of custom JSON and XML schemas and excellent auto-complete capabilities.

sshfs?

joshmanders2• 9 years ago

Only gripe I have with VSCode right now is the fact that snippets have to be in arrays and not a single block.

Nice!
