"Visual Studio Code" is deceptive marketing. It has nothing to do with Visual Studio. It's just another Javascript text editor built on top of Webkit.

- steego 12y agoYou're missing the point. It is in many ways better than Visual Studio because it's lightweight editor with a lot of the good stuff like a debugger, intellisense, refactoring, code navigation, etc. This caters to people who want good cross-platform tools without all of the Visual Studio bloat.
- tinza123 12y agoHow is it "deceptive" exactly? It uses the same language service (roslyn and typescript etc.) with Visual Studio; it has VS signature features like "peek", "find references" etc. Maybe the debugger is not powerful enough now, but it is just a preview version anyways.
