I’m always impressed with how much stuff the VS Code team packs into each release. Also, I love their format for release notes; the animated screen caps are particularly great. Kudos.


Still no way to show the whole git diff rather than clicking on the single files


I must be shallow but these massive feature-rich updates they produce continue to make me want to use VSC less. I just don't want to have all these features I know I'll never use baked into my code editor


>I know I'll never use

Well, let's see.

Improved tree navigation - you'll use that.

Improved shorcut configurartion - you'll use that.

Faster terminal rendering - you'll use that.

Better debugging - you'll use that.

Annotations on tabs (e.g. tab has modified content git-wise) - you'll most likely benefit from that.

Terminal profiles - you might not use that. For many it will make their work several keystrokes lighter.

And so on...

It's not like they add some exotic features. If you don't have a use for any of that, sure use Joe, Vi, whatever...


You can turn a lot of it off, I had to do that for this and MS Edge recently. Or you can just us Vim.
