Even though I use vim for most of time, I would recommend Code as second choice for coding. One advantage of Code is that you can navigate with keyboard shortcuts in Explorer, compared to Atom and Sublime.
Are you actually referring to using/the use of MS Visual Studio? It depends on the work you need to do. Use something that will work for the project you are busy with. And speak to people pn your team about how they like to work. Because it is easy to open a pg in notepad and create a couple of web pages. Some IDEs automate the inclusion of certain functionality. Large IDEs can save so much time and money if ghry are implemented correctly for what you are working with. They also autolink or include tools and templates.
It depends on what language you develop in and how complex of an IDE you want. Visual Studio Code "VSCode" should not be confused with Visual Studio. They are completely two different IDEs.
VSCode is a very streamlined IDE. Probably more similar to Atom or Sublime. VSCode is on the opposite end of Visual Studio and products from JetBrains like InteliJ, PHPStorm, and WebStorm.
I've been using VSCode for front-end web development. Specifically coding in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
Here's a link that lists the native language support provided by VSCode: code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/overview
There are many Language Extension that can be downloaded VSCode.
VSCode is getting updates every month.
I believe it's a great tool and I use it on a daily basis. I do recommend it.
My answer is no, not because I dislike VS, but because I prefer lightweight text editors like Sublime or Atom to full-blown IDEs. I also like the customizability of Sublime/Atom that you don't tend to get with an IDE. If you are developing PHP and insist on using an IDE, I believe PHPStorm may be a better choice.
I installed VScode on both Windows and Linux from the day it became available. To date I've had zero issues with this editor on either of the platforms. The editor is fast, doesn't get in the way and has great git integration. I get it , people are suspicious of Microsoft and their products but this editor is a home run for the development community. At least give VScode a try before moving on. Thanks.

My answer is no (neither for Windows nor for *NIX), because according to the terms of use you agree to share data about you, your environment and your project. I generally do not want to do so. There are so many good editors and especially IDEs out there!
My answer is no, but is not because it is a bad tool. But there are so many other great tools out there, I see no reason to pick this one over the others. And if you do not have a .NET infection, products made by Microsoft are not the first choice, because they just don't have to be.
Been using Ubuntu for a while now. I'd highly recommend VS code to other developers for JS, especially nodeJs. It's debugger is really a handy tool. And in terms of speeds it may not be as fast as sublime but almost at par with Atom.
