VSC has revolutionized how I code on Linux. Thank you, Microsoft!

Has anyone spent a lot of time with VS Code? I tried it a while back when it was first announced and have not found a reason to re-visit it yet. At the time it felt like a sublime-text alternative instead of an IDE (was it always positioned to be just an editor?) Always great to see more options though.
As an Atom user that's only dabbled with VS Code when it was announced, what are its advantages? Last time I tried Code it seemed like a fork of Atom with Microsoft branding.
There's other features, but the biggest for me is if you're writing TypeScript or C# you get first-class visual debugging support. Also the live Markdown Preview (cmd-shift-v) is pretty awesome.
I really hate how MS names things. Microsoft SQL Server, or as most people call it SQL Server. I read the title to this post as Visual Studio code is now open-source - but it's not. The product some genius called Visual Studio Code has been opened. I'm really surprised Windows isn't called Microsoft Operating System, or Operating System for short.

ETA: yes it has debuggers for some languages as well, though none that I am using at the moment.

Brilliant idea. Why not go all the way and call it OS. We could then have OS 10 from MS and OS X from Apple!

You can set breakpoints, check out the call stack, and inspect local variables.

I tried it out but too but Atom pulled me back because of its plugins and linters
VSCode is extensible now -- they are called extensions. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/#VSCode

Ya, it is just and editor. I have been using it on OSX for a while now and I like it's simplicity. The git integration is also very nice. ETA: yes it has debuggers for some languages as well, though none that I am using at the moment.
