Recently I've read about Microsoft Visual Studio Code. I work primarily with C and C++ languages on GNU/Linux. My question is whether Visual Studio Code is just a simple editor which uses whatever compiler exist in the platform, gcc in my case, as a background compiler or does it come with its own VS compiler?
Visual Studio Code is just an editor, which features their intellisense thingy and some git and debugger integration.
