It's hard to make a profit from a code editor - i think. but will it allow MS to grab developer mind share to focus on C# .NET and Azure?

MS constructing a path between different levels of the development stack. They're integrating languages they control with their super popular IDE with their insanely popular source code repository with their cloud provider.

My bet is they won't stop you from going off the path (e.g. using VS Code to push to Bitbucket and deploy to AWS), but they will make the MS path the easiest and the default.

VS Code in GitHub is a perfect example of this. Every integration makes it easier and more appealing to your CTO to Just Use Microsoft TM.

I feel New Microsoft is a lot.of about TypeScript/JavaScript. TypeScript development is dominated by Visual Studio Code.
