I'm taking a #Python programming course and our instructor asked us to use Visual Studio Code.
I was hesitant at first, though I have warmed up to it and now think VS Code is the first Microsoft program I've really liked since Microsoft Decathlon (I was a little kid then, and it wasn't new. :P).
That said, I still don't feel super comfortable about using a product from such a notorious company, and the code is open source but the binary isn't. (wtf??).
