Visual Studio Code is a fast and free JavaScript editor and debugger for macOS, Linux, and Windows with powerful features and extensions for Node.js development. Unity Development with VS Code. Visual Studio Code can be a great companion to Unity for editing and debugging C# files. All of the C# features are supported and more. In the screen below, you can see code colorization, bracket matching, IntelliSense, CodeLens and that's just the start.
I resisted switching to Microsoft‘sVisual Studio Code for quite awhile. Partly because I didn’t want to pay for yet another editor. I had alreadypaid for Sublime Text to upgrade to V3 and get full benefits. I ended upnot liking it anyway! Then I had WebStorm which I got because I alreadyhadPHP Storm and liked it for WordPress development. Paid for thattoo. I mainlyended upworking with the free code editorAtom, however. I loved it because of its UI and integration withGit. And the Github teamcreated it, so that made it even moreappealing. I have been deploying virtually all my Github repos togh-pages, so using Atom just made sense to me.

But I found that Atom was becoming VERY SLOW. The bigger my projectsgot, the slower it became. Then I also noticed that sometimes when I switchedbranches, on switching, some files did not close. They would remain open andunsaved when switching back to master. It got confusing and potentiallydangerous, because I would not know what was what. But this had never happenedbefore. Probably I had upgraded Atom, and the setting related to this issue hadgone away. That is another thing that I did not like about Atom. When oneupgraded to the latest version, certain, but not all, settings would revert todefault. I subsequently found out that there is a setting calledClose File Deleted Tabs in Core Settings that makes sure that deletedfilesactually close. That helped. But in my case what was alsohappening, was that certain changes didn’t seem to transfer over locally on agit merge even though they showed up remotely! That’s because Atom wasbecoming SO SLOW. SO I knew that at least for bigger projects, I would have tostart using something else.
Webstorm does not have the greatestUI. It also does not have thegreatest assortment of plugins. But, it is really great for remote deployment,especially to hosting services. Connecting withFTPs is a snapand things like that. So I will definitely continue to use it for specificpurposes. But I had to find something that would improve upon my dailydevelopment code editor experience. In desperation, I decided to check outMicrosoft‘s Visual Studio Code. To my amazement, I found that theeditor itself is 100% FREE! I had been under the impression that I had to payfor it. But that is not the case. So I immediately downloaded it and installedit. I am writing this blog post with it right now.
Visual Studio Code is available now for Mac. I know that in the past itwas not. There is great documentation to get you started on a Mac. You can alsosign up for Visual Studio Dev Essentials. However, if you alreadysubscribe to a Microsoft product,** i.e., *Office 365* (I do), allyou have to do is sign in with those credentials.
