I disagree with your statement on VS discoverability. It is quite the opposite actually. I learn to use VS 2008 (my first IDE) on my own with very few googling after a year or so of computer science class. On the other hand using Eclipse or Netbeans for some class always ended in coding with Vim because the UI and framework integration was non obvious.

Finally one things that I precisely dislike with VS Code is that this whole discoverability ease was throw out of the windows and almost any complex task can't be completed without looking in the documentation.



VS Code is REALLY discoverable IMO.

Ctrl + Shift + P (on Windows, might differ depending on OS) brings up command palette or whatever it is called.

Start typing.

When it has narrowed down to the command you need, make a mental note of the shortcut next to it, then hit esc and use it.
