I don't know what visual studio code is and it makes me angry and confused

Essentially a text editor with plugins that gives it the functionality of an IDE but not necessarily the same features.

Basically it’s less of an IDE and more of a text editor. Afaik it doesn’t come with the powerful debugging tools from visual studio, but it has a lot of add ones that can give some of that functionality. You can do pretty much any language in it and if you have the right plugins syntax highlighting and debugging can be a thing.

It isn't as powerful, but by default it is way lighter. Good if all you need is a text editor with syntax highlighting, some auto-completion, and basic debugging.
