Visual Studio Code, often called VS Code, is a open source code editor made by Microsoft. It works in all major platforms, includes Windows, Linux and macOS and works with most architecture : x86, x64, ARM and the recent Apple Silicon.
While being free, its feature set is comparable to a commercial editor, include support for debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, code refactoring, and embedded Git. Users also have the ability to configure their own theme, keyboard shortcuts, preferences, and extend VSCode functionality through the use of extensions.
Visual Studio Code was first announced at the Microsoft Build conference back in 2015. In the Stack Overflow 2019 Developer Survey, Visual Studio Code was ranked the most popular developer environment tool. VS Code has created a rich ecosystem of extensions, tweaks and themes.
