VS Code is a popular code editor, or "Integrated Development Environment" (IDE). Despite being maintained by Microsoft, it is free and open source (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode). Installation on all major platforms is straightforward following the instructions on the official website: https://code.visualstudio.com/.
VS Code provides support for all common programming languages. With a multitude of community-made extensions (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/), its functionalities can be extended near indefinitely. Some useful features include syntax highlighting, Intellisense, debugging, code snippets, git integration, and many more.
