As the name indicates, it is an IDE, and it contains all the features required for project development.It is mainly used by developers on a Mac who deal with client-side technologies (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS).It has limited IntelliSense for Microsoft file types and similar features.It does not have support for Microsoft's version control system Team Foundation Server.It is based on the Electron framework, which is used to build cross platform desktop application using web technologies.It is a competitor of Sublime Text or Atom on Electron.It does not have any scaffolding support.It is mainly oriented around files, not projects.Simply it is Visual Studio without the Visual UI, majorly a superman’s text-editor.
The second most obvious difference is that Visual Studio tends to be oriented around projects & solutions. The 'Visual' in Visual Studio (from Visual Basic) was largely synonymous with visual UI (drag & drop WYSIWYG) design, so in that sense, Visual Studio Code is Visual Studio without the Visual! NET has been split into two:Īll native user interface technologies ( Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Forms, etc.) are part of the framework, not the core. If you really look at it the most obvious difference is that. I will provide a detailed differences between Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code below.
