Microsoft today announced a free editor for developers called Visual Studio Code, which is now available for download. Visual Studio Code is a code optimized editor for Windows, OS X, and Linux, with support for IntelliSense (an intelligent code completion system), debugging, and GIT.
A release candidate for Visual Studio 2015, which came out in a preview last November, is also now available for download. A final release is expected this summer.
Visual Studio 2015 is still the full integrated development environment, while Visual Studio Code is just an editor. To prove that Microsoft still loves Linux, the company demonstrated a Mono application being edited in Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu today.
