Visual Studio Code is a reduced version of the official Microsoft development environment focused exclusively on the code editor. It's cross-platform and supports syntaxes for a large number of programming languages.

The tool provides support and assistance to field many different languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, different variants of C, JSON, Java, SQL, PHO, Ruby, Visual Basic, and many others, supporting highlights, auto-indents, snippets, and auto-complete.

The environment is not fancy and focuses exclusively on providing flexibility and simplicity to promote compatibility across the platforms offered, beyond support for Git repositories or the ability to open multiple files iterations in one window.
