Moreover, Visual Studio Code has easy remote collaboration.

Integration capabilities with Visual Studio Code Online.

A marketplace with extensions to support many extra functionalities (E.g.- Docker extensions).

Capabilities to debug code by attaching running apps and including breakpoints.

It is very powerful and rich in features and most of all, it is free to use.Įven though most developers may have used VS Code, not everyone knows the powerful features it has.

It’s important to not mix this up with Visual Studio that is mainly aimed at. Visual Studio Code (aka VS Code) is a product of Microsoft.
