VSCode is cross platform, what does Visual Studio do that it can't?

View on HN

We build games for PS4 and Xbox One, as far as I know neither SDK has integrations for VS Code.

Can you do assembly view and memory editing in VS Code by the way? I honestly don't know.

VS Code isn't an IDE, as much as people want it to be

This wasn't argumentative, this was a genuine question - could you shed some light?

Yes it is. IDE = integrated development environment.

It has integrated git. It has integrated debuggers. It has integrated database tools. It has integration on tap, with extensions.

If you are writing .net core sure. Otherwise you are going to hit issues building and debugging. Why you would be attempting that outside of a Windows VM, I'm not sure.

Just because I have no reason to run a VM. VS runs fine outside a VM.
