Visual Studio Code Free Cross-Platform Code Editor

Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's free code editor for Windows, macOS and Linux. Microsoft's current FAQ explicitly states that VS Code is free for private or commercial use, while its getting-started documentation describes the editor as free and built on open source. The desktop app includes core editing, debugging, task running, source-control integration and access to a large extension ecosystem. Microsoft also provides VS Code for the Web for lightweight browser-based editing, although browser capabilities differ from the full desktop application. This DealVorio record covers the core Visual Studio Code editor itself, not paid cloud services or optional subscriptions. Developers should download the editor from Microsoft's official VS Code pages and review extension-specific terms separately, because third-party extensions can have their own licenses, accounts or paid features.
