Speaking of using sharp tools…. I really don’t get the love for VSCode.

I’ve used Jetbrains for years and last week gave VSCode a really solid try.

Man what a mess. Everything is a plug-in, plug-ins are inconsistent, getting basic things to work requires a tsunami of plugins. Everything feels half baked and duplicated and needing updates or abandoned ugh.

Nothing feels professional because everything is a plug-in built by random person X or y or maybe some plugins are professional I don’t know.

And even when I’d plugged in as much stuff as I could find it still couldn’t do basic things like find and import node modules.

I abandoned the experiment and gladly went back to JetBrains where the tools are sharp, available and well organised.
