    VS is itself short for Visual Studio, the first IDE I ever used, and the first MS product I liked. So VS Code Studio means Visual Studio Code Studio.

    Why Visual? Because 25 years ago MS was pushing Visual C++, where you would drag and drop visual components together and then figure out where to put the C++ code to make them work.

      Yeah I know. Like I said it’s a stupid name, one only Microsoft would ever come up with.

      Calling it visual studio is redundant now because visual studio code doesn’t actually have anything to do with visual studio anymore, it’s just an IDE for a load of different languages, none of which necessarily have anything to do with Microsoft or Visual Studio. Yet it still called VS Code.

      At this point the VS effectively doesn’t really stand for anything.
