Status of IDE's for ObjectScript development
Context: Ensemble development with ObjectScript in a healthcare context - lots of HL7, and some web service stuff. We've used Studio up till now, alongside a lot of leaning on an external developer, but are expanding our team and doing more in-house. We are wondering about Visual Studio Code - not least because it looks easier to hook up to source management solutions. And we've noticed that the test environments that you get connected to when doing many of the online training courses on learning.intersystems.com give you a Visual Studio Code environment. At some point we are likely to shift from Cache 2018 to Iris. Is there a roadmap for the IDEs and which are recommented/supported? What will we lose/miss if we shift from Studio to Visual Studio Code? Can the two be used alongside each other? Do the class templates from Studio exist when creating new classes in Visual Studio Code? Oh, and where does Atelier fit in? Windows environment.
@Colin Brough - all great questions! I'll provide some thoughts and I am sure others will chime in as well. One question that I have which may impact the answers is what your current source control approach is? Are you using serverside source control hooks with Studio or some other approach?

Hope this is a good starting point.
I cant speak for Templates but in the same area I do have Studio Add-Ins in use in VS Code.
Thanks Ben, good start for a conversation in our team...
