VSC is really, really great. Meanwhile, the previous free VS's were not as full-featured, none of them run on OSX or Linux, and some Windows users still prefer GCC for various reasons.
- hellofunk 11y agoYour comment suggests that current VS runs on OSX? I'll have to check that out!
- kozukumi 11y agoVisual Studio does not run on anything other than Windows. However there is an Atom-like code editor called Visual Studio Code that is multi-platform running on Windows, OS X and Linux. I believe VSCode is built on the same platform (Electron?) as Atom although I might be wrong.
- carussell 11y agoThat they're both open source editors built on Electron is just about the only thing that Atom and VSCode have in common.
- kozukumi 11y agoYes, I never meant to imply they are the same, just that VSCode is "Atom-like" in that it is a code editor built using the same core framework as Atom.
- corysama 11y agoSorry I was vague. I was including VSC in "them".
