Why did Microsoft overload the "Visual" keyword so much. It's almost a joke at this point.
Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Visual Basic .NET, Visual Basic Classic, VBScript.
Am I forgetting anything?

Microsoft has always been terrible at naming things.
Their word processor is called Word. Their sql server is called Sql Server. Their IM is called MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger/Messenger/Skype/Lync/Skype For Business/Teams

I'm not sure about Word, I think it's not such a bad name and it's pretty much a synonym for 'text editor' at this point, not sure you can do much better than that. Certainly not a worse name than 'Writer' (sounds a bit clunky), maybe on par with Pages.
Visual Studio Code is a completely different product (to be fair so is Visual Studio itself for that matter..)
