"sourceMap": true
},
"exclude": [
"node_modules",
".vscode"

This is the intended behavior. a project file supersedes a tsconfig. if you do not want the project file to be your source of project information, close the project, and open any ts file from your project, and it will be pick up the tsconfig.
In the next release we intend to make this configurable. see #3949.

The user doesn't expect it at all, VS should alert that the settings have been overwritten by a configuration from a source with a higher priority.

Support for multiple tsconfig.json files is part of 1.8, as is support for more project types.
