Visual Studio Code is a scaled-down version of Microsoft's official development environment focused exclusively on the code editor. It's cross-platform and supports the syntax of a large number of different programming languages.
The tool provides support and assistance for a variety of coding languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, several C variants, Java, SQL, PHO, Ruby, Visual Basic and JSON among many others. It also supports highlighting, automatic indenting, snippets and auto-completion.
The environment isn't anything fancy, focusing exclusively on offering flexibility and simplicity to promote the cross-platform compatibility, beyond support for Git repositories or the possibility of opening multiple file versions in the same window.
