There's two kinds of wrong: I know I'm wrong vs I know I'm right but everyone else thinks I'm wrong. I prefer the second category.

The VSC one that keeps getting me, it's 50% really useful and 50% utterly annoying, is that when you close a file and it moves to another tab, it also moves back to that file in the explorer. Sometimes that's very convenient, and other times it's a PITA because you closed that file in order to open another one right there at the same spot.
And I guess another that is in the same 50/50% category is the single vs. double click open. It can be really convenient if you are just going through a bunch of files one at a time. But inevitably I get myself to some place I need to be, and then go to open another file and forget I only single clicked the first one and it gets closed.
But, on the whole, I've started getting used to it for my C++ work.

That perfectly summarizes my experience with it.

Paying for VS gives you a version that does very little more than the free Community edition.

Why not just use ctrl-s to save the file?

btw, I couldn't replicate the alt-f s scenario, it opens the file menu, saves the file and doesn't lose focus from the editor.

Heh to me, ctrl-s is move cursor left one character position. I'm an old fart who used WordStar in the CP/M days and I really like the WordStar cursor control movements. Basically, all my editors and IDE's (even Microsoft Word or Libre Office) use WordStar control sequences (or appear to!). I have an AutoHotKey script that changes my WordStar control sequences into the appropriate keystrokes for particular editor/IDE I'm using at the time. I also use and old ZiffDavis utility (TradeKeys) to make the Cap Locks into the control key.
Before I retired, it was quite funny watching an IT guys trying to use notepad when they had to mess with my machine.

Try JetBrains Rider. It's much better than Visual Studio.

I like JetBrains Rider. But it's a rather overkill to edit Javascript files in an Angular app.

For JavaScript, use the Google Chrome source debugger tab with a workspace mapping.
Pause your javascript at a breakpoint and start editing!
You will get "live intellisense" on all of your referenced objects based on their current state.

Well, it also has much better support for TypeScript and Angular than Visual Studio Code. For minor typo fixes Notepad++ might be fine, but if you need any real work done you should always fire-up full fledged IDE like Rider or Visual Studio.

I keep a subscription to the intellij allpack. I have Rider when/if I need to do .net stuff. Otherwise I'm in the web|phpStorm.
Of coarse I am a javascript dev so most of my stuff is flavors javascript and bash.

Javascript is my favorite language.
I don't think I've actually programmed c# for 4+ years now. I've done some debugging and a couple of fixes deployed but that's about it. I used to program c# for a living, and I liked it just fine. I prefer typescript to c# now though.

ah, so you're really programming in C# then... without .net

Yeah there's that. I also do regular ES6 without typescript, but mostly typescript.

VC++ 6.0 ruined everything for me. I still use VS2008 just because of the editor. I really miss BRIEF...
