  • Reviewers mention that Visual Studio Code shines in its extensive language support, with users on G2 highlighting its built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python, as well as a vast library of extensions that enhance functionality.
  • G2 users indicate that while Sublime Text offers solid syntax highlighting, Visual Studio Code's syntax highlighting is often praised for being more customizable and visually appealing, which enhances the coding experience for many users.
  • Users say that Visual Studio Code's collaborative editing features, such as Live Share, are a significant advantage, allowing teams to work together in real-time, a feature that Sublime Text lacks, making it less suitable for collaborative projects.
