UX defines products, not underlying tech. VS & VS Code share default keyboard shortcuts, UI look & feel, Intellisense, refactoring tools, and in-editor debugging. As a long-time, long-ago user of VS, VS Code immediately felt familiar to me. That's no accident.
- bhouston 9y agoAs a long time user of VS.NET and VS before (yes, I started coding a long time ago), VS Code is clearly patterned on Sublime's and Atom.io's UI concepts.

Then Sublime was my primary editor for several years after I left the Windows ecosystem for Mac. > VS Code is clearly patterned on Sublime's and Atom.io's UI concepts. It'd be more accurate to say that it's a hybrid of VS & Sublime/Atom's UI concepts. An elegantly executed hybrid, at that. My original (if implicit) claim was simply that VS Code is a member of the VS product line. I stand by that.
