AI is everywhere, and it is currently influencing the IT industry to a greater extent. People are looking for many AI tools to make their jobs easier. However, it is a significant decision to switch IDEs altogether to utilize the AI features that may be lacking in some of them. Developers will know the pain of switching from one IDE to another. For regular users switching from one tool to another, there might be a learning curve involved, but otherwise, it should not be a problem. But for a developer, it matters a lot because they have to make so many changes.
IDE is usually based on the convenience of the user. Any IDE can be pick to code based on the individual's preference to code and debug the code. It is also true that IDE makes coding life easier. Even though there are so many coding editors available, people individually pick whichever is comfortable for them. It also involves a lot of configuration to be done on the IDE level to make their coding and IDE experience better.
VS Code editor
I think more than 60 percent of the websites available in the market are the ones that are not fully in modern code. Many are php based and for which it is not necessary that people will have to use VS Code. This IDE was developed and released as open source by microsoft, and this has been one of the top IDEs since it got released. Some people who are still with the old technology for their coding don't prefer to use VS Code. But today, AI has changed a lot of things and how we see things.
VS Code editor comes with a variety of AI tools as extensions that are very helpful while coding. It does not mean that other editors don't have this facility. But I would rather say that it may not be as advanced as long VS code, and it is also one of the convenient IDEs that people can ever seen.
Today, after the AI revolution, we are able to see many people switching from their favorite IDE to VS Code to use the AI features and extensions that VS Code is offering. It is believed that VS Code has so many thing that supports multiple programming languages and at the same time are easy to use. Modern coding that requires AI elements can be picked from VS Code.
