What’s the difference ?

@CodeByNZ Visual studio code is a text based cross platform code editor Visual studio is a fully fledged IDE for code compilation and debugging

@CodeByNZ One is for coding the other is for suffering

@CodeByNZ Color difference

@CodeByNZ obviously 🙄

@CodeByNZ you see how the ends are not connected on one of them? yeah that and the color is quite different too

@CodeByNZ Wait till you find out there's a VSC insiders edition and it's green

@CodeByNZ VSCode is more for web development 😁

@CodeByNZ The icon, the color and the word 'code'

@CodeByNZ I think the most crucial difference is the way they're used.

@CodeByNZ Open source vs not

@CodeByNZ Visual Studio → ❌ Not open source (closed logo) Visual Studio Code → ✅ Mostly open source (left side it’s open) 🤣🤣😂😂

@CodeByNZ one is a text editor that got ambitious the other is an IDE that got therapy

@CodeByNZ One is just a lot heavier than the other. Visual Studio is for the "hard" code in my opinion. Assembly, C, C#, things that need compiling and detailed profiling.

@CodeByNZ about 2gb of ram

@CodeByNZ nice ribbons for my niece

@CodeByNZ The only have the name in common. Visual Studio is enterprise level IDE, it’s just badass, but unfortunately only runs on Windows. I have a huge respect for VS Code, use it on a daily basis but Visual Studio is a world class IDE. I’m a dinosaur and Visual Studio 10 is my fav

@CodeByNZ Visual Studio is the OG IDE that has support for complex projects etc (and overkill for 99% of todays projects). Still useful for instance for games development, C++ etc. VSCode is the lightweight rewrite useful for the 99% other projects.

@CodeByNZ Visual studio gives you stress. Visual studio code is a pookie.

@CodeByNZ You need the purple one to compile stuff on Windows whether or not you use the blue one as the editor

@CodeByNZ Code editor and IDE(mostly used for .Net/C#)

@CodeByNZ i love how you bait people to reply man

@CodeByNZ go ahead and try to create windows application in vscode using .NET you’ll know the difference immediately

@CodeByNZ VS Code represents variety of tools and Microsoft Visual Studio was for .NET development :P Doesn't matter, i guess it's where your development efforts are focused and which tech components are best available for your applications that will make the difference.

@CodeByNZ Blu is the right one, can’t explain

@CodeByNZ Color blind 🥲

@CodeByNZ What should I use, visual studio or visual studio code? As both provides IDE

@CodeByNZ Look carefully, one is an open loop and the other is a closed loop ♾️

@CodeByNZ Visual Studio is a full IDE (for large .NET/C++/Enterprise projects). VS Code is a lightweight code editor (for web, scripting, fast edits) that uses extensions for IDE power.

@CodeByNZ Visual Studio is a full IDE with compiler support and build tools VSCode is a text editor with a GUI and extensions that you can use to make it come closer to an IDE
