I've used it a few times. I'm actually impressed. I'm a pretty happy Linux user, but I don't mind VS Code. I usually don't do much coding, as I'm retired. So, normally I'll just use a plain text editor like gedit. I had to try GS Code to see what the excitement was and I came away impressed.
Yeah, my company used to have some products that targeted the Microsoft ecosystem, so I've used their dev programs - just not for years. I've been retired for a bit over a decade and hired actual good programmers much earlier. I'm a mathematician, not a programmer. I kind of suck at programming, even though I keep up with the developments and stuff piques my interest.
As in, you don't even want me programming a Hello World. No, not in any language - except maybe Perl. I love me some Perl!
Yeah, my own hired programmers eventually told me that I was no longer allowed to make any commits to production, or test, without review. In fact, they'd prefer it if I just stopped trying to help. So, I listened, because that's what I hired them for. It was a bit tough to let my own code base go, but it was a good idea. Yup... I'm that bad.

Microsoft or not I like that VS code as an editor and also that now they are pushing for open source.

Yeah, It's a good product overall. One thing Microsoft does well is developer tools.

I despise Microshit but VS Code is pretty good. I used to use it before I got a key for Sublime3.

I agree. I think that full Visual Studio is the best IDE.
