If I may ask, what specific VSCode features are you referring to?

I'm eager to know because I'm working on an editor for Chrome OS (based on the Monaco editor from VSCode) and would love to know whether they are part of Monaco or extras that only ship with VSCode.

If anyone's interested, here's the (very recent) announcement post: https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/ax8pi3/archetype_...

Here's a few things: (without effort put into this...)

1. Package management / Extensions. Vscode comes with this right away, Sublime you have to install a package manager to manage packages...-sigh-

2. File icons. (this may seem dumb, but man it should be a simple thing to have defaults for...)

3. Git integration (though seems they may have caught up on this?)

These are just off the top of my head...

Edit: spelling

Yep, I found every plugin I ever needed for Sublime. But then the minor conflicts between the plugins start happening.

Of which the only support answers online are "uninstall plugin/test". So I had to choose which plugins to keep for certain features/functions. It was too messy.

Sometimes I couldn't tell if it was the base features of Sublime that were conflicting with a plugin, or two plugins conflicting...

The seemingly unfixable bugs from plugins are what pushed me towards VScode. Where even if there are plugins/extensions, I need fewer of them, so less likely to have conflicts.

Some other ones are code completion, indentation stuff, etc...

Hey!

I've been playing with Archetype recently in conjunction with VS Code and I have to say, you've been doing a great job!

Keep it up my dude!

Shouldn't cause any issues, just thought you'd want to know. Cheers!

Yikes! If it helps, mine is just a side-project, nothing serious. Yours looks great by the way. :)

It's not a problem at all, can't claim a name really can we. :)

I currently use Codemirror [0] as the online editor, but when editing online, I do miss a lot of the tools available in VScode.

Do you have an opinion of Monaco vs Codemirror? (I think codemirror is used internally for some Firefox dev tools...)
