"More than a code editor"
What do you like best about Visual Studio Code?

I love the large community and the number of plugins to enhance the editor, which also makes it very customizable. Additionally, it is super easy to use. Thanks to Github Copilot, an interesting extra is added that makes it, with its fluidity and AI, even better than some IDEs. Its integration with Github is complete, which makes version control easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Studio Code?

Honestly, there is nothing I don't like about Visual Studio Code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is like the best IDE out there that supports multiple coding languages. It's so easy to integrate different coding languages using their extensions.
