Why was the icon color changed from blue to orange? Does Microsoft Word have color ownership of that particular blue? (then again, the color of the Insiders build is Excel Green)

It's not even a real Visual Studio, not to mention it's mostly used for writing scripts rather than code. So color can be any at this point.

Just a thank you to the VS Code team for the awesome work (and really love the new Terminal updates).

I wish vscode could be a better PHP editor, some of the features I read are only applicable to JavaScript

Good stuff. It's attention to needs like "Import path quick suggestions" and "Folding Regions" that make VSCode a pleasure to use.

+1 would love to hear the reasoning behind it. From an outsider's view it seems like a change-for-change's sake.

Nor is Visual Studio for Mac - it's just repackaged Xamarin Studio.
