Well it's free software and open source, right? https://github.com/gitkraken/vscode-gitlens/blob/main/LICENS... Eventually someone will fork it just to remove the ads

Weird that you couldn't get extensions working. Everything I've wanted works in vscodium. The only thing I couldn't get working is the remote sharing where you can connect to someone else's instance and co-edit (remote ssh editing works). Extensions that I currently have installed: * https://github.com/alefragnani/vscode-bookmarks * https://github.com/gitkraken/vscode-gitlens * https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-xml * https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-yaml * https://github.com/znck/grammarly * https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim * https://github.com/mousavian/ssh-config-syntax-highlighter * https://github.com/golang/vscode-go * https://github.com/prettier/prettier-vscode * https://github.com/braver/vscode-solarized

I really wish tooling like this was more common: https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/tree/v11.2.1#curre... (screenshot) > Current Line Blame: Adds an unobtrusive, customizable, and themable, blame annotation at the end of the current line

I think the audience here is missing that the code diffs are included in the markdown below, probably because you need to scroll to see them. See around 3:38: https://app.paircast.io/replay/fa41d539-aea0-4d62-a192-3cd77... Because the Paircast git commits include a timestamped link to the video, using something like gitlens in VS Code would allow you to click from code to video. https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens#autolink-settings

I absolutely love the GitLens extension for Visual Studio Code: It shows you the current line annotated with `git blame` by default: https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/tree/master/#curre... I even like this in my personal projects: It shows me how good both my commit messages and granularity are.

Seems like optimizing the wrong thing... As a developer I'm not sitting down an typing constantly like some bad Hollywood "hacker" montage, or a court reporter. So preemptively optimizing a tiny subset of my workflow really doesn't offer much value. Contrast that with something like Chrome Debugging for VS Code[0] or GitLens[1] that are fitting into what I actually spend a lot of time doing, therefore improving productivity. If my typing was 50% faster my overall productivity would be maybe 5% better, because that just isn't a bottleneck. I feel like the vim/emacs crowd experiences professional programming VERY differently to anywhere I've worked. Myself nor any of my colleagues are just type-type-type. I spend more time reading and writing OneNote documentation files (specs, etc) than I do writing code. I spend more time in meetings than

Would gitlens help? I love it. https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens

> I don't understand why these electron editors are popular at all. IMHO it's the future of IDE's. After years of using vi and Intellij IDEA, I've switched to VS code (which is electron based) and never looked back. I find it as snappy as vi or sublime. I feel more productive because of all the plugins. For e.g. the fantastic https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens Extending it is really easy using the language server protocol http://langserver.org/ . Our team spent very little effort to build a plugin for our open source project https://github.com/getgauge/gauge-vscode Electron editors are successful because it's hackable and cross-platform allowing the community to extend and add an impressive list of plugins.
