Visual Studio Code. For any Web Developer, that name is as familiar to them as Disney or Google is to the average person. First reaching general availability in 2016, VS Code, as it is often called, is a free, lightweight source-code editor developed by Microsoft for use on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is used to write, debug, and organize code, supporting a variety of languages such as Python, JavaScript, C++, and HTML.
Some of its core features include Git integration. This means that projects can be tracked, changed, and saved through VS Code and into GitHub repositories. In regard to debugging, VS Code allows pause points to be set, with the code being run and checked for mistakes, which are subsequently highlighted. AI inline tools and code suggestions can greatly cut down on development time, as they can either highlight mistakes, predict what comes next in a project, or write out the remaining code on their own. Extensions and other tools are also readily available to download and use should the user need them.
Currently, 73–76% of professional developers use VS Code. From my own experience, if you can’t trust VS Code, you can’t trust any editor.
