Speaking of customer support, I've found it to be exceptional. I've never encountered any issues when seeking assistance. While I've experimented with other coding workspaces like Sublime or Notepad, I've found VS Code to be exceptionally smooth and user-friendly. Furthermore, I've customized numerous shortcuts in VS Code that have further amplified my productivity. In summary, it's an outstanding platform for coding **What do you dislike about Visual Studio Code?** When I mention the downsides, having lots of helpful extensions can actually make a developer a bit lazy. I start depending too much on these features, which can lead me to forget simple coding rules and make silly mistakes. So, while it's a good thing to have those helpful tools, they can also have a downside because they might make us a bit forgetful about the basics. Other than that, I haven't really experienced many drawbacks **What problems is Visual Studio Code solving and how is that benefiting you?** so which things developers need, they need a good workspace and tools that make life easier to code.
