Upvoted but disagree. VS Code and VS have totally different lineages and probably not much shared code under the hood. I've used VS for many years (best IDE bar none, in my opinion) and when I started playing with VS Code I couldn't help but think they should have chosen a different name.
I appreciate what VSCode is achieving, though, I can run on my Linux host and remote into my microcontroller bare-bones OS for debugging and everything works nicely together but it ain't no Visual Studio.
- bee_rider 4y agoVS Code is more of an editor (with a nice plugin system) than an IDE, right? Should have called it something like "Technical Notepad."
- jen20 4y agoThe reason the binary is called "code" is because the name "Visual Studio" was applied at the last minute by marketing - this was told directly to me by one of the program managers involved in the launch.
- TremendousJudge 4y agoYeah I'd say the lineage is Notepad++ -> Sublime -> Atom -> VS Code
