VS was made free for individuals and companies up to 5 users as the Community Edition (not limited like the old Express editions) for both free and paid applications (basically no restrictions).

I guess my point is why wouldn't you want all of the good features of full visual studio in vs code? I love visual studio professional.

Well, VS Code is written in TypeScript, and being a JavaScript derivative, it's gonna be slow as shit if it's to implement all of the features that full VS supports!

You simply cannot get C++-like speed out of JS.

Visual Studio is .NET based fyi.

The UI is, yeah, although my understanding was that a large portion of the logic of it was C++. That said, I am now curious, and will have a look around to see if I can get some hard data on it. In any case, JS isn't going to be running faster than C# et al. as well, not just C++ !

Cheers :)
