After using SublimeText, Atom, Brackets, ... in the past, VS Code has become my IDE for the past several years and I won't switch back! Works really well, with many useful extensions to improve my coding experience 🙏

With a small footprint, cross-platform, fast response time, and support for custom extensions and installing extensions from the extension market, this is the best cross-platform editor I've ever used!

It made a real boost to code editors when was released. But the real difference is made by your installed plugins!

I love VSCode and you should too, especially if you're into stuff like VueJS and TypeScript. First off, this thing eats large text files for breakfast. You know those bulky logs or huge JSONs? Opens 'em up in the blink of an eye. But let's talk aesthetics. The themes are a visual feast. Honestly, it's like the IDE knows how to set the mood for a late-night coding session. The colors pop, and my eyes are like, "Yeah, we can do this all day." Extensions? They've got some killer ones specifically for VueJS and TypeScript. It's like turning your coding environment into a Swiss Army knife, no joke. And.... the peer coding feature is next level. Once you get into VSCode, everything else feels like you're coding with one hand tied behind your back. It's that good.

VS code is one of the best text editors available online, the best thing about it is that its free and there are hundreds of extensions available in VScode which increases productivity of developers working on any stack.

Great support for TypeScript, but also great extensions for languages like Go and Rust. I like that it's lightweight from the start, and you can make the editor more full-featured with extensions, but it's up to you.

Although Sublime is my workhorse for being light-weight, sometimes you need a gas guzzling luxury SUV for intense tasks like mass-replacing code across multiple files. VS Code is this SUV, and does not fail to deliver in times of need.
