      The line is getting blurrier these days, but in general:

      • with visual studio, you don’t need to install anything else in order to build a windows app or a .net app. In comparison, with VSCode, in addition to installing various extensions in order to reach feature parity, you’ll need to install the compilers and various libraries separately.

      • using VSCode as a default text editor is no brainer as it launches in a few seconds. On the other hand, if you set visual studio as a default text editor, merely opening a text file can take significantly long time due to waiting for the ide to initialize.
