I wanted to start using VScode. It wasn't easy. I wrote some tasks that allow us to build the various flavors of OpenConsole and Windows Terminal from one of the tasks. I also wrote a task that allows registration of the loose Windows Terminal package and a shortcut one to launch it.
Also it was grinding away at its own Intellisense forever because it was indexing obj, bin, packages, etc. I excluded those.
Things should be easier now for folks in general. I expect we'll make more task types in the future.
