What would it take?

Adding zip of death to the installer to make Ionide use more space on disk and make it slower. ;)

How would you define it? What features should it have?

  • We have rich set of language features (+/- the same set like all IDEs with F# support - VS, XS, and Rider)
  • We have debugger (with some limitations.... but those should become less and less important beacuse people will move to new fsprojs and debugger works with those on all platforms, for both full framework and .Net Core)
  • We've recently added project explorer which basically has same functionality as VS one. Sln support is not there yet, but we're close - there is WIP PR for it

Features we don't have:

  • Good test runner - Expecto integration is super simple. VSCode doesn't have at the moment API for test explorer... it could be added with tree explorer API, tho.
  • Profiling tools - I've played with adding integration with JetBrains' dotTrace, it seemed to be working fine, I could create some nice visualizations using ContentProvider API... But it was working only on Windows, and I'm bit reluctunt to include features that will work on one OS only.
  • UML thingy... uh, nope, thx.

And we even have features like CodeLens which are only in Enterprise version of VS ;)
