What do you mean by "performs much better"? Atom is an amazing IDE, IMO.

[dieseltravis]

Atom is good, but can be slow. Code is very speedy.

Hi friends, I have just created a PlatformIO extension for VS Code. You could install and have a try. 😃
In the initial release, it supports below basic function:

• Build PlatformIO project specified in Project Configuration File platformio.ini
• Upload firmware to devices specified in Project Configuration File platformio.ini
• Open Serial Monitor

Currently, the extension is in the very initial phase. If you find any bug or have any suggestion/feature request, please join the chat on Gitter or submit the issues to the GitHub Repo.

PlatformIO is really cool! Much better than Arduino IDE. 😄 Let's make PlatformIO better and better.

Add project generator for VSCode with a support for:

• Code completion
• Multiple tasks/runners
• PIO Unified Debugger

[dymo]

I have made pull requests for VS Code templates: #960 and platformio/platformio-docs#4

I have been unable to get the PIO Unified Debugger to work, so I didn't make a template for the debug launch configuration.

Hi guys,

We have a good news: PlatformIO IDE for VSCode!

100% open source, maximum permissive Apache 2.0 license.

Docs: http://docs.platformio.org/page/ide/vscode.html

This is a demo version, only base features are ported from PlatformIO IDE from Atom:

• Automatic Python + PIO Core Installer. No need to install Python or PIO Core before.
• Multiple Run Tasks
• PIO Unified Debugger for 100+ boards
• Automatic C/C++ Project Reindexer (when platformio.ini is changed or new libraries are installed)
• Integration with VSCode Internal Terminal.

Would be thankfufor any feedback. Please open issues in PlatformIO IDE for VSCode repository.

P.S: @formulahendry , thank you very much for your efforts on the own PlatformIO extension. Would you like to work on PlatformIO.Org extension? I propose to merge our efforts and make really cool exntension.
