• Extension system

  • Install extensions from command line: yes, e.g.: codium --install-extension ms-python.python https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34286515/how-to-install-visual-studio-code-extensions-from-command-line (1.38.1)

• Languages

  • C++: yes, official extension: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools

    • custom include paths: finds in-project paths automatically, must be fragile

    • find references to possible polymorphic virtual method calls: no, marked at [Not a reference] (1.38.1)

  • Python: yes, official extension: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python

    • Eliminates impossible method references by class: no (1.38.1)

• GDB step debug: yes, but setup is annoying on Linux (1.38.1)

• Git trackable project configuration: yes, JSON (1.38.1)

• Jump to file: Ctrl + P (1.38.1)

• Method overview of current file: Ctrl + Shift + O https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36154283/method-list-in-visual-studio-code (1.38.1)

• Type hierarchy: no microsoft/vscode-cpptools#3799 (1.38.1)

Further comments:

• you have to setup a bunch of JSON files manually, can’t find templates on C/C++ plugin (1.38.1)

• the documentation documents WSL, MacOS and MinGW, and MSVC, but not Linux distros. As a result you follow WSL and skip a bunch of WSL specific crap that is not needed on Linux (1.38.1)
