Not to be confused with the IDE Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code is a text editor on steroids, comparable to the Atom Editor, but unlike that, it's blazing fast and feature-rich.
It's an open source project mainly developed by Microsoft which also explains the name.
Because it's awesome and free, it has gained a large community also supplying thousands of extensions installable with a single click, for everything you will ever need.
It's most powerful with web-based applications, but it can be used for almost any scripting or programming language.

Probably the best editor for JavaScript, NodeJS and web-based applications. Unlike its namesake, Visual Studio, it is really stable, easy to use and lightweight (and people fucking love it).
There are also uncountable extensions for everything you will ever need in a code editor.
