Don't kid yourself with it. People use vscode, because it's free - first - and because it's great - second. It wouldn't have probably even 1% of it's user base

- Bedon292 6y agoThere are tons of free options out there though. People chose to use VSCode from the list of free tools because it is great. And I have no problem paying for an IDE, but I stopped because VSCode was as good, if not better, than any paid option out there for my uses.
- rodgerd 6y agoIf "free" and "has plugins" were what mattered, there is Notepad++, Atom, Emacs, and many other choices. VS Code is doing rather better than all of them.
- hawski 6y agoI only said that price is an overriding consideration. It would not matter how much better it is, if it would not be free.
