Visual Studio Code combines the simplicity of a code editor with what developers need for their core edit-build-debug cycle. It provides comprehensive code editing, navigation, and understanding support along with lightweight debugging, a rich extensibility model, and lightweight integration with existing tools.
SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Cross platform
VS code is an electron app and can therefore run on windows, mac and linux alike.
Pro Lots of Addons
Probably for every usecase, there is an addon.
And they are easily installed.
Cons
Con Electron
It's an electron app. That means the usual bugs can, did and probably will happen.
In its early days it was stressing the CPU because of the cursor refresh rate. No joke.
Con A bit barebones at times
Even all its addons can't hide the fact that many things are just a bit inconvenient at times. Its stylish but nested interface takes more time to get used to than some of its competitors.
