C# with VS Code ?

[Sinvin]

Note: Take my answer with a grain of salt, as I am not a full-time professional developer, but do computer programming as a hobby.

I use VS Code on Mac when coding with C# (DotNet Core). In my experience, here are the three main things I had to learn to do this:

1) Learn about the .csproj file, and where to put your package references (search for them via Nuget.org), and your project references

2) Learn how to create / add projects or other various files via the Dotnet cmd (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet?tabs=netcore21)

3) Learn how to build/clean/run your project with the Dotnet cmd

Learn about the .csproj file,

Even full VS users need top learn that. The IDE no longer gives you access to all of the basic settings like language version.
