    Visual studio and visual studio code are not the same thing. Visual Studio is a full IDE and is expected to have those features and is clunky because of them. Or was, not sure where it is now. It’d be in the same category as netbeans, eclipsed, and intellij

    Vs code is an enhanced lightweight text editor

    Notepad++ is the original enhanced lightweight text editor

    My point was that Notepad++ came out way before vs code and didn’t copy features from vs code.

    Copied from an ide, sure? Not really a good comparison as they are solving two different problems

      They were features of the text editor that was a part of the integrated development environment. My point was that even though vs code came after n++, those features were a part of the visual studio line, which vs code is a successor of, so if there was inspiration it was more likely in the direction of vs -> n++, though realistically there was probably transfer in both directions over time.
