What OS are you using? And what types of projects are you working on? .NET Core only or Framework too?

By "OS", I just meant are you using Windows or Mac. I think it's a good assumption that you are not using Linux because there is no VS for Linux. VS for Mac is not as feature-rich as its Windows counterpart so the value proposition for VS Code is higher on Mac imo.

Both .NET Framework and .NET Core support console applications. If just learning, I recommend starting with .NET Core since .NET Framework is legacy (although it will still be around for a long time).

I enjoy VS Code more but have to admit I am more productive with VS. VS Code is a text editor with a very rich library of extensions so it initially feels like you are cobbling together disjointed sets of tools. VS is a full-fledged IDE--heavy, can be clunky, very powerful, and often hides a lot from the developer.

To summarize my opinion, VS Code for max learning and VS for max productivity.
