That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

You may know already, but you should try VSCodium. At least they took the Micro$hit telemetry out!

Ah yes, you're right.

I guess a better qualifier might be: closed-source Microsoft products tend overwhelmingly to suck.

They've been cramming random stuff in that though that's making it more laggy. Recently switched to Zed and it's so much faster.

WSL was my gateway drug to Linux. It's neat. Until it isn't.

TypeScript isn't terrible. It's extra work to set up, but it makes JavaScript codebases somewhat more maintainable.

Visual Studio for live .NET debugging and the WPF live editor.

Some C/C++ extension process once reduced my laptop to a crawl, and I couldn't close VS Code, so I killed the process through the task manager, simple enough, right?

Long story short, I started smelling burning plastic and saw that, somehow, there was no VS Code process, but the extension had a separate process that was still running at full speed doing idk what. I almost burned myself when I picked up my laptop. So I'm not very happy when I see VS Code

Your laptop caught fire while running vs code it had nothing to do with it, it doesn't have a "burn my laptop" function.
