    What a pity VS Code is such a pile of crap.

    Why doesn’t it use Dotnet, for example? Maybe because Dotnet is itself a
    pile of crap?

    How would you know?

    Because Microsoft won’t use Dotnet for anything important. Like Office,
    for example.

    I have the feeling the last thing you developed was a bad rash so I
    question your standing to discuss the shortcomings of VS Code. In fact I
    just used it on Linux with the PlatformIO plugin to program an Arduino.
    It's quite a bit nicer than the Arduino IDE although I haven't worked with
    the 2.0 version yet. I also have the Dotnet SDK on Linux so I can do C#
    and I also prefer it to Spyder or PyCharm for Python.

    I downloaded Atom a few days back to do that, but found out it was not installing any of its extensions, a few of them for Go. Then on the web
    I read that Atom was wrapped up and is no longer available for anything.

    VS Code is built on Electron, the same framework that was originally
    developed for Atom.

    I haven't used it personally but it seems as full featured as other
    languages. Yesterday I experimented with the PlatformIO plugin that
    supports a number of microprocessors. I could do the 'blink' program that
    is the 'hello world' of the Arduino world. The word completion and so
    forth were better than the Arduino IDE, at least v1. I have v2 but haven't tried it yet. It had no problem finding the device on /dev/ttyACM0 .

    Even incredibly obscure languages work pretty well in VSC, such as
    dreammaker (which only one real game uses)

    Waste of time learning development on Windows, particularly an obsolete

    Depends on "development" of what :)

    Remember why Microsoft introduced WSL in the first place.
