Visual Studio Code - Cross-platform & free robust code editor from Microsoft

@chrisdias Was there any thought to not using the Visual Studio name? I 💚 VS, but not everyone does. Some can't see the disconnect from this lightweight editor and the powerhouse of VS.

@jsneedles @chrisdias VS Code is in the Visual Studio family of products: VS, VS Code, VS Online (which you can see here: https://www.visualstudio.com/). Before VS Code we only had an IDE, so if you are a terminal and editor person, we had nothing to offer you. With VS Code, we now have an IDE and an Editor, something for everyone. Of course, we didn't want to have just another editor. Instead we wanted to build a better editor by bringing in the core "edit-build-debug" loop from traditional IDEs to VS Code. That's why we have great editing/code navigation experiences and debugging experiences as core features of the tool.

@jfilcik It is focused on editing text files and writing code. it does not have wizards, it does not try to integrate every tool in the tool chain into the environment. it is happy to shell out to external tasks to get things done, etc. This also means it typically doesn't have complete end to end workflows such as IDEs. But, that's ok if you are an editor person and you like to use the command line and mix and match tools to get your job done. it doesnt try to be the one tool that does it all, instead it tries to integrate into your existing tool chain, but provide a better "inner loop". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So...
