VS Code is VS for Linux [1]

I haven't used VS Code in a long time (since the very early versions when it cam) and I remember that it didn't meet my needs. What I like about VS is its project templates, dynamic auto-complete, integrated terminal, amazing visual git (and diff) integration... Are these available in VS Code ?

Mostly "Yes, to a certain extent".

Maybe not project templates, they seem to be targeting Yeoman as the use case for "getting started".

But autocomplete and git integration are definitely there. In some ways better than how VS does it.

What extension you use to git and diff functionality please?

Nope, actually. It's a "simple" text editor for coders, like atom and stuff

VS is too dependent on Windows to make the switch easy I believe.

VS code seems to be catching up very rapidly though. Especially with the extensibility announced today https://code.visualstudio.com/updates

It may still be a while before is "surpasses" true VS - but - with support for sublime and textmate snippets it may be about to catch up to those two.
