My vote: +1 I did run into the issues mentioned in https://github.com/apache/daffodil-vscode/wiki/Apache-Daffodil%E2%84%A2-Extension-for-Visual-Studio-Code:-v1.4.0#known-issues-in-v140
(I keep thinking it's time to ditch Ubuntu, or maybe just Gnome-based UIs for Linux. Plain xfce feels really attractive to me given all this UI weirdness with Ubuntu/Gnome) But I was able to configure and debug a useful example schema (I am using DFDLSchemas/fakeTDL as my simple example these days). I have not (yet) been successful configuring the VSCode extension for a large complex schema I have been working on. But that's not a blocker. This RC3 is still is an incremental improvement. Observations: None of these below are blockers. It is very hard to find some things. I can find a way to open the data editor, but not to display the regular data hex dump with the highlighting of the current position (or was that behavior removed?) This notion that all the menu choices live under ctrl-shift-P, for every kind of debugger is terrible. There should be a real menu where one can select from the various kinds of displays (data, infoset, infoset-diff, data editor,... at any given time. ). The fact that one must use ctrl-shift-P and scroll to find the way to open the data editor is really awful. Context of the project is completely non-existent. The file selector dialogs always open in my homedir, even though the project of interest tree of files is open on the immediate left panel. Any time I have to specify a file I should be able to use the project folders on the left to navigate. Opening a separate dialog for this is painful. Having to always drill from my homedir to where the project of interest exists is painful given how often one has to hit these file selection dialogs. My highest priority is being able to (a) somehow get the data hex dump open) (b) get it to work on my large DFDL schema project, so I can use this to demo data parsing for a client.
