The other IDE that I use is Eclipse. Comparing both, Microsoft Visual Studio Code it clearly wins in resource consuming. I can have open many instances of Microsoft Visual Studio Code and the memory ram usage it doesn't go very high. Another point where I prefer Microsoft Visual Studio Code is in the use of extensions, for example GitHub Copilot where it is better embedded in Microsoft Visual Studio Code than in Eclipse.

Microsoft Visual Studio Code provides more flexibility and supports easy integration to different platforms (including cloud). It is more modular and lighter application as compared to other integrated development environments. Microsoft Visual Studio Code is easy to learn and understand making it more approachable for beginners. It is also highly customizable, and we can add extensions and configure with ease as per our needs.

prior to Visual Studio Code, I was using Sublime Text, which was not the most effective in terms of third-party libraries and complex debugging, so I switched to Visual Studio Code where I got a positive as a developer. it is having all the features and third-party libraries to deal with different kinds of extensions that help you to build your application. and it also provides flexibility to switch or code with different languages.

VS Code is much more lightweight than IntelliJ and Eclipse and is certainly comparable to Atom. I find that for most of my projects, VS Code is the most stable option, and is generally the quickest to boot. Generally, trying out all four can't hurt, but VS Code has been the most consistent for my own usage.

An exceptional tool for developers

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is a combined form of the above-mentioned products i.e. one product, many applications. Eclipse is suitable for java development, PyCharm is mainly for Python development whereas Android Studio is for Android applications development but in Microsoft Visual Studio Code, we can set up any of this language easily, and also other languages like PHP, go, ruby can be implemented with ease. So, this software stacks up against them.
