Visual Studio Code is a lightweight, fast, free-to-use code editor that has become one of the most popular developer tools. If you’re unsure about migrating from InterSystems Studio to VS Code, here are a few reasons why you should consider making the switch:

/

Lightweight, fast and free

VS Code offers a refreshingly lightweight design with blazing-fast performance. You’ll work in a code editor with a streamlined interface that allows you to work more efficiently, even on less powerful machines or within your browser window. VS Code comes at no cost, making it an accessible choice for all developers.

Cross-platform compatibility

Gone are the days of organizations being tied to a specific operating system. VS Code is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux, ensuring a consistent development experience regardless of the platform you’re on.

Edit and build with ease

VS Code empowers developers with features designed to enhance their productivity.

*  Seamlessly connect to multiple server namespaces

*  Leverage advanced IntelliSense for intelligent code suggestions

*  Enjoy syntax highlighting for improved code readability

*  Effortlessly navigate your codebase with bracket-matching and auto-indentation

Box selection and customizable snippets speed up coding tasks

Intuitive keyboard shortcuts can be fully configured to your preference.
