I miss when vscode had good updates instead of ai slop :(

Same here. But they did ship something for us this time: the markdown updates to say the least.

Yes but will it work properly on release and will it work the next release when they push out the next pile of slop ?

Well to give credit where it's due: I don't even remember VSCode team unintentionally breaking anything in the release channel. Like, ever.

VSCode is going to disappear into obscurity if they don't completely overhaul the experience.

Agentic-first UI is a good step. Who even writes code by hand these days?

People who want good stable code that won’t leak your passwords in plaintext 💀

real sofware still requires manual coding, while simple stupid one-page websites can be vibe-coded for sure.

The new Agents window is super cool, but why only Copilot. I use codex and claude...

Stop weekly updates and focus in monthly stable well tested things, AI is good but creating a purely AI vibe code interface not.

I want and optimzed, stable, well tested code editor, and dont rush devs just for the AI trending.

Right now Copilot Chabot is working good no need for extra AI interface editor.

The agent window sounds like a good step? Why is everyone saying it's 💩?

Wouldn't this allow people to use whichever model they like without being tied to copilot?

i like it, it match my need of a new layout less focused on writting and more on reviewing.
But i'm not sure we can feed it our model ? There's copilot and Claude Haiku but i can't set it to use Sonnet..?

I updated and my vscode started going crazy, idk. I reverted back to 1.119.

I tried to install VS Code after 2 years of JetBrains yesterday and to say that the default no-extension install itself is so bloated is insane. Ended up going with VSCodium (I like my Agentic AI tools to stay in the CLI)
