What Is a Text Editor? And Why Does It Matter to Developers?
If you have Windows, you have access to the default Notepad application installed on your computer.
At some point, you would have used Notepad to replace Microsoft Word. But those who work with code understand that while it looks similar to Microsoft Word in terms of providing a writing space, Notepad can do more.
Most modern systems come with pre-installed basic text editor software like Notepad, and you can use them for more than just taking notes and creating documents.

Question on: Visual Studio Code
When I want to edit the settings, is there always a .json file and a gui I can use?
Sometimes I edit the settings.json other times, I use GUI/menu items. Can I just stick to one or the other? Would make things more consistent in my team
There is a settings.json file where you can manually type in the property name as well as its value. This is preferred when you are importing settings files from some other place or sytem.
Alternatively, you can click on the settings icon directly in the vs code (left bottom ) which will take you to a screen, where you already see all the setting properties. On changing any of the values here, the settings.json will be getting updated automatically for you. This has less chances of errors.
