Syntax coloring

[svipas]

Hello,

In my opinion default VS Code syntax coloring is way better than this one. Better improve some of them which are not in VS Code by default, like colored comments and so on. Because right now VS Code default syntax coloring is easier to read. I was like, cool Babel plugin for VS Code which will improve syntax coloring, but the true is, it does nothing at all. Sorry, but this is true, you can really make this plugin better, but you need to improve it.

Thanks

Thanks for your thoughts, but it really depends on the tmTheme you are using. In more recent releases, VS Code has significantly altered their own grammar scopes and themes. This plugin was made a long time before that and was designed to be used in conjunction with tmThemes that used more or less "standardized" scopes from other editors. Back then VS Code had its own twist on scoping and that made porting tmThemes look completely different than how they did in Sublime Text. This plugin addressed that. To use this grammar you'll want to pair it with a theme that uses the "standardized" scopes. I am not certain how VS Code's new default themes interact with this grammar. It is very likely that they play better with VS Code's own grammar because they would be scoped identically.
Tldr: be sure to match apples to apples in terms of grammar and tmTheme.

Please also note that this grammar was intended to match Sublime Text's Babel package, for better or worse, and not necessarily for "best correctness". At time of release, it was a near perfect 1:1 port, but since then many changes on VS Code have occurred and I can no longer guarantee 1:1.
