VC++ 6 was made by the same company that made VS Code.


But not the same people or culture.


Exactly, VSCode is done by well known people from the GoF book, Visual Age and Eclipse IDEs.

That doesn't mean it's any good - which I admit is subjective. I'm sure they've put good devs doing a ton of work into making an IDE they believe in but having used it for a couple of years I don't enjoy the experience.

Nothing feels obvious or simple, and trying to work in Python or embedded C++ compared to using Jetbrains tools feels like I'm missing so much. I've gone back to pycharm community edition because IMO it's light-years ahead of vscode in usability.

I guess people say the same about emacs.

I maintain VC++ was a better experience than vscode; whoever is working on it.
