. The more developers it can win over, Microsoft believes, the more developers will give its cloud a shot. And Visual Studio code is the friendly, open face of that battle.

At the time he joined, Microsoft was in the final years of CEO Steve Ballmer's reign, and the tech industry still thought of the tech titan as only caring about its home-built programming languages, like C# and .NET . "What's interesting is the way it has taken off," Rob Lauer, senior manager at developer technology company Progress, told Business Insider. "A lot of it has to do with the Microsoft name. The open source community has been pleased with Microsoft's actions...They've done everything right so far."Liuson says she sees all types of developers using Visual Studio Code, from students to high-ranking employees at companies like Google and Amazon.

Users also praise the customizablity and flexibility of Visual Studio Code. It doesn't come with many features built-in, but users can download extensions to add or change whatever they'd like about it. Those plugins can even add support for new languages, new databases, or even simply new color schemes. Because Microsoft released Visual Studio Code as open source, it's easy for any developer to get a deep look at how it all works, and write whatever integration they'd like.
