Really not sure. Looks like VS Code leverages the system’s compiler via settings so it would depend on whether or not it handles the code generation as well. Based on it being a trimmed down VS, I would assume not but could be worth a try. Not in the repos over here (it was in one of the distros I used, not sure which one (never mind, it was listed under code instead of vs-code or some such so it is in the repos)) but may be worth grabbing the official DEB at some point to give it another test run after the OS upgrade. It looks like it uses GTK3 (at least, the maintainer of the AUR version are building it with GTK3 support) so it does mean no Qt. I do seem to recall that it was using Electron at one point but don’t see it listed under the AUR entry for some reason. Not a big fan of Electron as I always felt it was slow. Not sure if it’s still using it, though.

It does look like it has some handy features, though. I’ve been using text-editors for so long (I used Notepad initially) that I’m not used to using IDEs 😛

Sorry, I don’t mean to sound so resistant to these suggestions 🙂

Also, looks like EsmBase.cpp and EsmDefs.h were meant to go together so I’ll rename them as such. Should we use defs or base as the grouping name?

I’m also changing all files to lower case and replacing the cpp extension with cc as that’s become the more common standard used 🙂

At some point, we’ll want to comb through this thread and make sure everything is on the tracker that needs to be to help us keep up with what needs doing. I know I haven’t been very good about keeping them in sync.
