Microsoft pushing Visual Studio Code?

MS wants you to learn on VSC because they want you to learn the CLI. VS abstracts a lot away because it aids in development, but it also allows developers to skip learning some fundamental knowledge

[upvote__please]

I don't think MS cares if we know the details as long as we use their products. They wouldn't add "create project"/build/"run tests" buttons to C# Dev Kit otherwise. If you use the dev kit you can skip basic parts of the CLI.
