Visual Studio Code vs Sublime Text
Developers should learn and use VS Code when they need a lightweight yet powerful editor for web development, scripting, or general programming tasks, as it combines the simplicity of a text editor with IDE-like capabilities through extensions meets developers should use sublime text when they need a fast, highly customizable editor for coding, scripting, or text editing across multiple platforms (windows, macos, linux). Here's our take.

- +Related to: text-editing, package-control
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Visual Studio Code if: You want it is particularly useful for front-end development with frameworks like react or angular, back-end work with node and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
