Visual Studio Code is the most popular code editor in the world. It supports virtually every language through extensions and has a massive ecosystem.
VS Code has become the default code editor for a generation of developers. Its combination of speed, extensibility, and built-in features like IntelliSense, integrated terminal, and Git support makes it suitable for everything from quick scripts to large projects. The extension marketplace has over 40,000 extensions covering every language, framework, and workflow imaginable. VS Code runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and also has a browser-based version. Microsoft's investment in AI features — including GitHub Copilot integration — keeps it at the forefront of modern development tooling.
