Visual Studio Code is a source code and text editor for Windows, Linux and OS X.[1] It includes support for debugging, embedded Git Control, rich development experiences such as intelligent code completion (also known as IntelliSense), and other features. It is also customizable, which means that users can change the editor's theme, change the editor's keyboard shortcuts, change the editor's preferences, and others. It is not yet known if users can extend the editor by developing extensions like in Visual Studio. It is developed by Microsoft and is available for free. It is currently in public preview.
Visual Studio Code is based on Electron, a piece of software that is based on Chromium, which is used to deploy io.js applications for the desktop. Visual Studio Code uses the Blink layout engine to render the interface.[2]
