I use it because I prefer editors that don't require relevant mental overhead (and for me, the text-editing "efficiency" is the least relevant part of the editor experience). Simplicity is a big factor for me in editor choice. I used Sublime previously, but VSCode won out with significantly better intellisense support – this python extension for example. The language servers have been awesome.
EMACS is not a good editor wverything else about EMACS is great but the editor and shortcuts are the worst :) That is why I use Spacemacs if I am trying out something in EMACS. I am actually thinking that NeoVim will be inside of EMACS soon.
Startup time, designed from the start as cross platform (i.e. not _ported_ to windows) , sane default configuration and keybindings, customizable using a language that a lot of people already know?
I like emacs (and spacemacs), and I really appreciate all the ideas that have come from it. But it's not easy to get started with.
Startup time can be fixed by running Emacs as a daemon on boot. (Not sure if that's possible with Windows)
For keybindings you can just use evil and get vim keybindings. But yeah, Emacs is not easy to get started with, though I feel it's worth spending time getting used to it.
VS Code uses Javascript the same way Emacs uses Lisp. For people more familiar with Javascript, it is not a bad idea. And it has a very active community that has created lots of plugins.
Personally, I do prefer Emacs, if only because by now I have accumulated ten years worth of customizing. But I have tried VS Code a few times, and I can see why people would like it.
(There is a plugin that gives you Emacs-style keybindings.)
Actually, technically it uses Javascript since that’s what Typescript compiles to and since Typescript is a superset of Javascript...all Javascript is Typescript. xD
technically technically and technically we all compile to asm since v8 does that on the fly and technically technically it is 1's and 0's. Hence my reasoning for saying typescript ;p
That may be the case for many people across the "Hindi belt" of northern India. (Hindi and Urdu, at an everyday level, being fairly close to a case of "same spoken language, different scripts".) In the Dravidian-speaking south....not so much.
No. People in the northern region would since it is similar to Hindi. Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala have their own language respectively which is different from Hindi and they wouldn't.
I am not certain about entire Andra and Telengana. People in Hyderabad speak Urdu.
