I think it fits in quite well along side notepad++ and Full featured VS.
I tend to only use it for small/non-complex projects
Compared to Full VS it does all the basics and I find it quite a bit quicker, also it's less busy and makes it easier to focus. I still use Full VS for large projects since you have more context of the individual projects and more powerful plugins.
Notepad++ still has it's place for random edits of individual files, VS code seems over kill for that.
I've also used atom and quite a few online editors, they seem closer to the Notepad++ end of the spectrum, VS code seems to fit my needs better, being that it has tight DotNet integratiion.

I replaced notepad++ with it 
It has a bunch of great features and the current list of extensions are great. Even though NP++ has more functionality, what made me change was
the design and colours, viewing C++ is extremely pleasing on the eyes
Open folders -> so you have a directory of code files to easily navigate
I've gotten used to the package manager (F1) and I think it's fun and quicker than many tasks I did in NP++
Being a bit of an IDE was fascinating though, I was totally surprised when it could connect to Unity to debug my code

Using it as a main tool at work and for home project. Tried VS and atom before, but for js/ts projects like VS Code more
What disappoints a little is that lately it started to crash several times a week. But that's not critical. It starts fast and restores last opened files

I recently switched from Sublime to VSC. The 'killer feature' for me was that it has typings build in. It can read typescript typings for third-party libraries while you can still write Javascript.
A big win-win in my book: the strong type advantages with regards to tooling, without losing the flexibility of loosely typed JS.
(also: build-in Node.js debugger)
That said, for C# in the back-end, it's still VS2015 all the way.

I use it for programming in Google's Go language. There is no better IDE for Go.

I use it for writing html5 apps on my mac. I also have been helping get it running on a project that is developing .net applications on windows with linux as the target.
I think it is great - but I don't do any real development on windows anymore.
I use it for more than just html5, it's pretty much replaced my editor(s) all around. I use it for system scripts, etc. I really like it.

It's like Sublime Text but free. I use Sublime and VS Code alternatively and I have found that Sublime is a bit faster but that VS Code has native Git support.
I still haven't decided which one to keep.

I've never used Sublime, I use Notepad++ instead but I'm finding, at least for the web stuff I'm doing that VS Code is pretty OK.
Yeah I like the native GIT support also. I tried to learn GIT several time, using several GUIs on several OSs and found it to be tedious and counter intuitive but on VS Code it's drop dead simple.

I'm using it for Python. I was previously using Notepad++, but I'm finding the intellisense and code marking to be so much better than Notepad++, which, in turn, was better than Idle.

ANYTHING is better then Idle. I tried it on the Raspberry Pi and ended up with Geany but think I'll see if VS Code will run on the Pi...wouldn't that be a kick!

Looks like Scott Hanselman has already done that[^] - you have to build from source, but that's relatively simple on Linux...

Stuart thanks for the link, was going to look into that today. 
It works great on Ubuntu without doing anything special and was using it yesterday to do some Node.js coding.

it's also a must have for Powershell editing... way better than the ISE and better than other powershell-oriented IDEs out there. also in this week's insiders build (now daily builds) you can now launch powershell as the integrated terminal too

Pretty productive on Linux. I use it to write Node.js and Python.
But the Vim plugin is like a toy

I have spent hours today clearing out cr@p, taking it to the tip, jet washing the patio, and so forth.
And the worst bit? I'll need to do it all over again fairly soon!
Why can't it be like development? At least there you know that if you put in the effort to do a proper job, you won't have to do the same thing again, and again, and again, and .... 
I ache in places I didn't know I used!

There's an app for that it's called "Teenage Offspring".

Great idea, build big metal machines that are stronger than we are and give them one of the most awful jobs in the world ever so they'll come to hate us and want to kill us 
At least those are the emotions I'm feeling when gardening

...and give them lots of sharp objects...

Gardening really sucks.
I'm already regretting ever getting one

But compare it to the other option: QA...
However it looks the same mostly if you look closer...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Because you're approaching the problem like a SysAdmin, not like a Dev.

Just think of gardening like working with a development team. Yank out the weeds, wait a week or two, yank out the weeds again, etc. etc. etc.
At least, as a solo developer, you can say you're doing "organic programming" because the weeds are replenishing the lost nutrients in the soil.
