Visual Studio Code only succeeded because a failed online editor was pivoted to become a desktop product, according to Microsoft Distinguished Engineer Erich Gamma.
Gamma spoke at the virtual VS Code Day yesterday on how the world s favourite programmer s editor (or is it an IDE?) came about.
Introduced at the Build event in April 2015, the VS Code open-source editor is nearly six years old. Microsoft already had a successful development tool, Visual Studio, and few could have guessed that this new editor would supplant its Windows-only cousin in popularity to the extent that just four years later Eclipse director Mike Milinkovich would express his concern about a monopoly on development experience.
