About:
Visual Studio Code is a free, open-source code editor developed by Microsoft. It provides built-in support for debugging, Git control, syntax highlighting, and intelligent code completion. The editor is highly extensible through a rich marketplace of plugins and themes.
Key Features:
  • IntelliSense smart code completion
  • Integrated debugger and Git tools
  • Extensive extension marketplace
  • Built-in terminal
  • Multi-language support
Use Cases:
  • Web development with JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Python and data science workflows
  • Cloud-native development
  • General software engineering
Alternatives:
  • Sublime Text – Lighter weight, faster performance, but paid and less feature-rich out of the box
  • Vim – Terminal-based, highly configurable, but steeper learning curve
  • Atom – Similar extensible architecture, but deprecated and slower performance
