Visual Studio Code
Overview
Visual Studio Code is an open‑source, cross‑platform editor focused on fast, keyboard‑friendly workflows. It brings first‑class editing, navigation, and debugging, and extends through a vibrant extension marketplace. Recent additions include agent‑assisted flows for multi‑step tasks, next‑edit suggestions to predict and surface likely changes, and integration with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers via extensions. VS Code combines integrated Git, terminal, tasks, and remote development (SSH/containers/browser) into a streamlined environment, updated frequently with performance and capability improvements.
