Well I’ve always hated Visual Studio. It installs so much bloat, it is more like another operating system installed on top of your existing one. It’s an abomination.
And no matter what they call VSCode, for what most people need to create software it’s a perfectly fine substitute. I guess you should call it a DE, a development environment since compilers are not “integrated”. But that is a good thing, to be able to install compilers separately. On the other hand if you install compilers, the addons to integrate that compiler into VSCode. Maybe it’s an “integrating development environment”? :D
