I haven't been following Atom, or other editors, very closely since I started using VS Code. But this team seems to be going at an incredible pace!! Well done another superb release. Keep it up.

Truth. Go to GitHub and check out their milestones. It's so great to know what is coming in the upcoming monthly release.

What is the long term value to Microsoft for VS Code? It is definitely improving their image within the web development community, and I imagine it is also winning them favor with Go developers. Have people noticed a network effect after using VS Code? Are you getting sucked into the rest of the MS ecosystem at all?

The earnings on developer tools have never been huge but the revenue on Windows server has been huge. The market is shifting from buying windows server to azure. By having an editor that works seamlessly with Microsoft's azure options it cements Microsoft as a long term player in the hosting market.

Microsoft also spends a lot of resources on documentation which makes it an easy choice for the frustrated developer who can't get something working on another companies offering.

It makes C# and F# development possible (Without pain) on Linux and Mac, so there is that.

Copy Syntax Highlight is huge. Years ago, I had written a utility to invoke syntax highlighting from text sources for use in PowerPoint presentations and Photoshop editing ( https://github.com/minimaxir/copy-syntax-highlight-osx/ ); I am very happy it is now obsolete.

Finally, a workaround to the lack of support for printing code! (not just VSCode, but all the major editors -- Atom, Sublime, etc.)

Note, for those of you on Windows (not you, jackhack, your profile betrays you), Notepad++ does a great job at printing code.

What is the difference between this and Visual Studio Mac? Is there a reason I would pick one over the other?

Hmmmm... I'm pretty sure this is Visual Studio Mac though I've never heard it called that before. You can edit and debug C# as well as many other languages with Visual Studio Code on your Mac.

I think they are different? https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-mac/
