📊 ➺ 🖼️ ➺ 🖼️ ➺

Visual Studio Code (commonly referred to as VS Code)1 is an integrated development environment developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux, macOS and web browsers.23 Features include support for debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, code refactoring, and embedded version control with Git. Users can change the theme, keyboard shortcuts and preferences, as well as install extensions that add functionality, including to extend its capabilities to function as an IDE for other languages.

Visual Studio Code is proprietary software released under the “Microsoft Software License”,[^7] but based on the MIT licensed program named “Visual Studio Code – Open Source” (also known as “Code – OSS”), also created by Microsoft and available through GitHub.4

In the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, out of over 49,000 responses, 75.9% of respondents reported using Visual Studio Code, more than twice the percentage of respondents who reported using its nearest alternative, Visual Studio.5
