5+ best cross-platform code editors for programmers

Visual Studio Code is Microsoft’s source code editor for Windows, Linux , and macOS.

This powerful and versatile cross-platform code editor supports a series of features such as debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, embedded Git control, code refactoring, and more.

If the standard version of the tool doesn’t meet all your needs, you can always install more extensions to add new languages, debuggers, and other additional services.

You can install as many extensions as you need – they run in a separate process and won’t affect the editor’s speed. As a quick reminder, Microsoft recently added a new JavaScript debugging extension to VSC.

VS Code also comes with built-in Git commands, allowing you to review code right from the editor and push and pull from any hosted SCM service.

The editor features a very interesting and useful feature called IntelliSense, which provides smart completions based on variable types, function definitions, and imported modules.
