Simple observation that VSO used to be the name of what is today Azure Devops, which is at its 3rd rename (vsts, ado).

Reusing the name of a past product for a new product that is not entirely related is pretty confusing.

Interestingly enough, many people thought the original VSO was an online web IDE. And so in this case, we decided that it made sense to re-purpose the brand for a product that met many people’s expectations. Visual Studio Online: This time, it’s for real!

"VSO" is a pretty poor search experience:

vs code doesn't appear anywhere, however you would have totally owned this:

Except it's not really Visual Studio, but Visual Studio Code.
