  • Visual Studio Code のことでマイクロソフトが開発するソースコードエディタ

Source code editor developed by Microsoft#

  • Being open source, there are no worries about costs.

  • Thanks to the MIT license, restrictions related to licensing are loose.

  • Since it is developed by Microsoft, it is relatively easy to obtain permission even in rigorous workplaces.

  • Although it is lightweight, it has the minimum required functions, so it is easy to adopt even in low-spec environments.

  • There is an autocomplete feature, which allows to reduce typing effort.

  • The emmet feature (abbreviated input) for web developers is excellent. You can code at a high speed.

  • There are many keyboard shortcuts. They are efficient once you get used to them.

  • Standard features include selecting the same word or selecting a rectangle.

  • Since the terminal is in the editor, it reduces the number of active windows.

  • Debugging functions are standard. Errors and outputs can also be completed within the editor (plug-ins may be required depending on the programming language).

  • There are many plugins available, so you don’t have to worry about the lack of standard features as there is usually an extension available.
