Visual Studio Code

This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.

We prefer to use the free open-source source code editor Visual Studio Code (VS Code) for developing software in our teams.

It is the most widely used code editor (and IDE with the right extensions) for working with TypeScript code bases and it serves all our needs.

However when working on our Kotlin and Java code bases we still prefer to use IntelliJ IDEA as IDE.
