I still have not started using the full Visual Studio IDE, but I recently began using VS Code and quickly understood why so many developers rely on it.

Debugging a code in vim has always been a pain the bottom. With VS Code, one can define breakpoints in the code and visualize the values of the various datatypes in your code – helping you identify what went wrong, and where.

Wish I had discovered @VisualStudio earlier. This is a great tool for anyone who likes to write beautiful code and debug in an efficient way.— ferngully (@thatgeeman) August 14, 2019

There are also these things called “lints”, which helps you intend or beautify your code. It wraps logical statements with spaces on both sides,  intends with two spaces and smartly identifies loops, only to add extra intends.

Other features include: autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and committing to git.
