So VS Code isn't just slow and bloated, it also deletes your files. So glad I was turned off by its excessive memory consumption and deleted it before it deleted my files.
Edit: also why I only ever used git from the command line, I never found a git UI that is easy to understand, and never trusted them.
You think VS Code is slow and bloated? What do you use?
Also, on several occasions I've had VS Code help me recover accidentally deleted files, because the editor keeps the file in memory, regardless of if it disappears on disk (like most editors).
Either an IDE like Visual Studio or Xcode or a text editor like Notepad++, Vim or nano, it depends. I also use Android Studio but I hate it.
You think VS Code is bloated and you use Visual Studio and Xcode?
One is a glorified text editor, the other two are proper IDEs.
