I have seen multiple Java developer coming to me asking that eclipse is way too slower when opening angular 2 projects (or projects with large number of files, (in angular 2, due to node_modules)).
I suggested them VS Code and they are quite happy with it for client side development.

I am not sure about Eclipse but in my IDE I set the node modules directories to be excluded from the IDEs project, so those tons of files are not indexed, I assume Eclipse has same problem, it is indexing lots of files and building a lot of data structures to help in features like completion and code analyse, so if those devs are missing some Eclipse feature they may try to make Eclipse ignore the node modules and maybe other folders and files(the javascript combined/minified/ugliffied generated files)

Thank you for setting my week up right. I haven't had that good of a laugh for a bit.

I downloaded it a couple of months ago, had a quick play and pretty much forgot about it. Nothing wrong with it at first sight - it actually seems quite nice, but I continue to do most of my coding in the VS and SMS editors. Maybe it's something that will gradually worm its way in to my toolkit.
On the plus-side, Microsoft did give me a very nice T-shirt to advertise it.

In my experience it is very hard to move an old-timer from the editor one used for years (vim, emacs, gedit), but I would say - give it a try...
I tried it on Fedora 23 (VM) and had no problem whatsoever...
I liked the debugging capabilities, built-in and for that I would recommend it...

To give a shot I tried VS Code on the Mac, but now staying away from using it. It starts slowly and doesnt work fine. So I like using Text Wrangler if XCode doesnt the job for some txt or xml files.
I am surprised (or not) that the VS Code has the same problems as on Windows: slow and glutty. Looks like it is the standard for developing software at Microsoft

Having attempted to set python up in VS and hearing the angst created by try to get Xamarin working I would certainly recommend it to a non windows user, but then I'm a bastard!!!
Seriously I could not in all faith recommend VS for other than VS core languages to anyone. I don't know of a better alternative so would keep out of the discussion.

Visual Studio Code is not the same thing as Visual Studio.

Incidentally, you might find Visual Studio Code easier to set up for Python development than Visual Studio.
With Code, it was just a matter of installing the Python extension. After doing that I was able to fire up a Python app in debug mode and set breakpoints to inspect some code that wasn't behaving as it should.

In full VS (both 2013 and 2015) I couldn't get either Node Tools or Python Tools to work without their crashing the IDE on edit. So, next time I need to use those I'll try VS Code instead. I have Code installed, just haven't used it.

Code is particularly good for Node; support for running and debugging Node applications is built in.
Adding the Node.js type definitions file gives you good Intellisense for the entire Node standard library.

I'll bear that in mind the next time I try Node. I've only had the chance to play so far, not used it for real.

See the link in my comment to Mycroft above - basically its a lightweight text editor with syntax highlighting and other language support, with plugins for many languages.
I would assume a "non-Windows language" is a language that is predominantly used on other platforms: C/C++, Python, and many more. Where VB, by contrast, is almost exclusively used on the Windows platform.
(VSCode actually supports both).

Fair dos - like others here I have no idea what it is.
Why would I use it, when I can use Visual Studio?

It doesn't require setting up a project, it works well with languages not supported in Visual Studio, it runs on Linux, Mac and Windows. It has a quicker start up time.
I use it for almost everything other than .NET development now. I'd still favour Visual Studio for most debugging tasks though.
PS. Is Fair DOS a new MS-DOS compatible product?

You miss the point of my comment: What I mean is that I don't give a sh*t about non-windows languages and that no intelligent human being ought to do so either!

And you missed my joke, in a few months Bash is going to be on Windows 10. So long PowerShell!
Then the only downsides to doing Windows apps will be the bloat and vendors...
