Visual Studio Code or VS Code is an open-source free code editor to aid developers to build web, mobile, and desktop applications. I used it on my coding and data engineering tasks with Node.JS, Flutter, Python, and Dart.
It features automatic updates, a rich ecosystem filled with extensions, themes, and useful tools. It is basically doing everything.
Some developers may not like to use it as it is maintained by Microsoft, so they can get and use VSCodium which is a Free/Libre VS Code fork with a FLOSS license for the binary downloadable releases.
