My main wish for VS Code is 'proper' multiple cursors (where by 'proper' I mean 'works the way I expect' which is the Sublime Text way).

I fully understand that if you come from a world of 2D blocks (or regions) where you can select rectangles then VS Code's way of doing things makes sense but I am so used to having multiple identical cursors and being able to swipe vertical lines through tables of text or more often down the ragged right hand side that I find VS Code frustrating for hard-core text editing.

I seem to start every new project using it and I love its language-specific coding tools (and how it handles extensions) but as soon as I need to do a large edit on a nasty piece of text I find myself switching back to Sublime.

(I will of course give it another go as soon as I start another new project)
