Visual Studio Code

Microsoft's Visual Studio Code is a free, open source code editor that runs on all operating systems (macOS, Linux, and Windows). It supports development operations such as task running, debugging, and version control. It provides the tools developers will need for a code, build, and debug cycle, leaving more complex workflows to more fully featured IDEs.

Visual Studio Code is a lightning fast code editor, perfect for day-to-day use. With support for hundreds of languages, it aids productivity with auto-indentation, syntax highlighting, box-selection, bracket-matching, snippets, and more. It features intuitive keyboard shortcuts, easy customization of the editor using user-defined settings, and its community-contributed keyboard shortcut mappings will let you navigate your source code with ease. It also has built-in support for code completion—IntelliSense, navigation through UI, rich semantic code understanding, and code refactoring.

Debugging is often the feature that developers miss most in a leaner code editor experience, and with Visual Studio Code not only is it available, but it is very easy to debug your applications. Visual Studio Code has an interactive debugger, so you can inspect variables, step through source code, view call stacks, and execute commands in the console.

Visual Studio Code also integrates with scripting and build tools to perform common tasks, making everyday workflows easier and faster. It has support for Git so you can work with source control without leaving the editor, including committing changes to Git and viewing pending changes with diffs:

Let's have a look at the features of Visual Studio: 

• IntelliSense: Go beyond syntax highlighting and auto-complete with IntelliSense, which provides smart completions based on variable types, function definitions, and imported modules.
• Print statement debugging is a thing of the past: Debug code right from the editor. Either launch it or attach it to your running apps and debug with breakpoints, call stacks, and an interactive console. 
• Git commands built-in: Working with Git and other SCM providers has never been easier. Review diffs, stage files, and make commits right from the editor. Push and pull from any hosted SCM service.
• Extensible and customizable: Visual Studio Code has many features out-of-the-box. It also let's you customize and extend Visual Studio Code in the form of plugins and settings configurations.

Visual Studio Code ships monthly releases (https://code.visualstudio.com/updates) and supports auto-update when a new release is available. If you're prompted, accept the newest update and it will be installed (you won't need to do anything else to get the latest update).
