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/
What is the difference between this and Visual Studio Mac? Is there a reason I would pick one over the other?
Visual Studio for Mac (currently available as a preview) is a full IDE, meant to be more like the .NET development experience in Visual Studio for Windows. Visual Studio Code is a cross-platform programmer's text editor, similar to Sublime or Atom. If you are into .NET, it has a good server-side development experience, but for client-side you'll want to stick with the full Visual Studio IDEs. Code is very extensible,…
If you did mean web clientside could you expand on that?
VSCode team is killing it! Literally every month its tangibly making the product better. I still use Sublime occasionally on really large files as its performance is so good but for most things VSCode is my go-to!
Yes, opening large files is not too bad but using a multi-selector with more than 300 matches is pretty much impossible in VSCode.
At that point using find/replace or opening in sublime is a better option.

When you say for clientside you would want to stick to the full Visual Studio IDE, do you mean web clientside or clientside as in traditional desktop apps? If you did mean web clientside could you expand on that?

Truth. Go to GitHub and check out their milestones. It's so great to know what is coming in the upcoming monthly release.
But the editor itself is so slow. It takes 10x time to start compared to Notepad++.
I'm against slow web-based (Electron etc) apps too, but VS Code is quite fast in all aspects of operation (and I'm considering switching from ST3).
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?
All 10 of them? Sorry, but to think it's some kind of ploy for Go developers specifically does not really compute.
It might very well be a "goodwill" project, but Go devs are insignificant compared to the web developer community at large.

I worked at a company that had some files that were thousands of lines long. The result of 10 years of entropy build up. When you've worked with these files long enough, and it sounds kind of funny, but the shape of the code becomes very familiar. Searching for keywords though usually my primary method of finding places in code was sometimes less effective because it would occur multiple times (think function names)…
A tree view of whatever you are working on would be more efficient to jump through parts of code, like Vim TagBar for instance. VSCore has Alt+O for symbols but I wish it had a tree view on the side of the editor.
Not if you are the visual type...
I'm hoping they add in support for multiple project folders soon [1]. It makes it a bit difficult to work with microservices since I need a few projects open at a time.

I used vs code to play around with typescript, which led me to check out the bot framework. I then built a prototype bot for work, showed it to my boss, and got the time to turn it into a product whose primary interface is skype. That product uses the luis natural language service, which we now pay for on azure. So, at least for me there was a strong network effect.
