If you're stuck in the Microsoftiverse, why would you ever want to use Code instead of the real one?
I use Visual Studio for native Windows applications and projects that use Visi plugins (some embedded system projects, for example) and Notepad++ or VS Code for web sites, scripts, and other, generally less complicated projects.
(Not mentioned: projects that use other or multiple IDEs. Stupid Eclipse.)
If nothing else, Visi is a pretty big program to launch to edit one file that isn't part of a Solution.
And if you're not stuck in the Microsoftiverse, why would you ever want to use Code instead of sticking to a civilized option like vim?
As someone used to graphical editors and tools I find VS Code much easier to use than vim
(or emacs
). I tried to switch to vim
back in the days where (it was | its derivatives were) one of the few editors on multiple platforms, but I found learning it too annoying.
Either way, I hate the fact that I have to explain to people that I'm talking about real Visual Studio and not the Code knock-off.
I had similar issues with Actual Acrobat vs. Reader for years. I also had to convince people having problems with a file to download the PDF and open it in Acrobat or Reader; the browser plug-ins regularly screwed things up. (And their JavaScript-based replacements still do.)
