Can I share my Visual Studio Code pet peeve? I tried to set the font of the editor, so I opened the preferences and instead of simply picking a font, there's a textfield for the "font family". I want to set it to Anka/Coder Narrow. I have no idea what I should fill in the textfield, and I feel it's a regression.

Anyway, it's amazing how JetBrains just keeps pumping out IDEs. My students like it. When I suggested Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code for coding C#, they ignored me and installed JetBrains Rider.
