Microsoft recently announced Visual Studio Code at its BUILD conference. Visual Studio Code is a free build of Visual Studio that supports Windows, Mac, and Linux. Visual Studio Code is built for developers who focus on ASP.NET or Node.js. It has Git integration. It’s an excellent source/text editor currently in its preview stage and supports a few of these languages JavaScript, C#, C++, PHP, Java, HTML, Markdown, SASS, JSON, and Python. The preview stage might have a few bugs as it currently lives in the development stage.
