VS Code works great on my personal machines.
Unfortunately sucks rotten eggs through a dirty garden hose on my work laptop. But it's not really the fault of VS Code, but rather the antivirus and nanny-ware running on my work laptop that basically cripples VS Code and makes it freeze every few minutes, particularly when it tries to talk to a language parsing service running on the same machine. Basically our corporate security has locked down our machines so much that the default configuration thinks that there is some kind of attack happening. The irony is that corporate security tells us to workaround the issue by running VS Code as an elevated user. So instead of being safe and blunting a real attack by malware hiding as a VS Code extension, they are telling us to go ahead and expose ourselves. Security Theater (TM)
