Visual Studio Code: Shipping One of the Largest Microsoft JavaScript Apps

I think the parent didn't mean to accuse you, but Microsoft, for re-using the "Visual Studio" brand in a product so completely different that it deserves a distinct name.

Reminds me of how pissed I was with Amazon calling their line of regular Android tablets "Kindle Fire". I don't know what the sales teams there think, but for customers, the "Kindle" brand was literally synonymous with "that e-ink screen thing".

I'm more pissed about VS for Mac than VS Code... if I were to call out naming something badly.

That's correct, I was talking about Microsoft.

Ah, fair enough. Was confused there for a bit.
