Visual Studio Code is an open source text editor available for Linux, OS X, and Windows. It includes support for debugging, embedded Git Control and rich development experiences such as intelligent code completion. It is open source driven by Microsoft, built on Electron like GitHub's Atom.
Visual Studio Code is an open source lightweight but powerful source code editor developed by Microsoft. It runs on the desktop and is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages (such as C++, C#, Python, PHP) and runtimes.
Visual Studio Code uses the Blink layout engine to render the interface, Electron for the framework, and TypeScript for the program logic.
