What's with these posts using misleading info recently?

This doesn't look anything like vs code.

The only similarity might be they're both ide's

Uhm yeah both are text editors trying to pass as an IDE. And alternatives don't have to look alike either.

Well.. I just tested it.. And actually it seems closer than I thought..

I have no idea though why they used screenshots without a project pane and such. It supports extensions and such too..

I can't see a FIXME Extension though that highlights it yet though.. Or a markdown preview extension (which I definitely need)

Yeah this looks like more of an alternative to Sublime

Actually.. I just did install it.. It actually does have a lot of similarities to VS Code.. I have no idea why they used photos in the blog without the project pane. But it also seems to support extensions and such too
