RE: [EXTERNAL] Will Code for i replace RDi?

I have been trying to use Code for i, but I keep reverting to RDi.

There are some things in VS Code that I like better, but I really do not like working in it as well as RDi.

Just my opinion.

So I'm just curious on other people's opinions.

For the last couple of months I've plunged myself head first into Code for
i. As a long time RDi user I didn't quite know how much I'd like it,
especially since I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft productions, but really
it's been a positive experience. Especially when I got VS Code customised
the way I like it.

So do we think that Code for i will completely push RDi out the window, or
do you think we'll have both products for a long time? I think the one big
thing missing is a display and report designer, but there is another
extension now for display development.

I still miss Code/400 :)


Thanks,
