Squid vs Visual Studio Code: What are the differences?
# Introduction
**1. Pricing Model**: Squid follows a subscription-based pricing model, while Visual Studio Code is free to use.
**2. Online Collaboration**: Visual Studio Code offers robust online collaboration tools, whereas Squid lacks this feature.
**3. Language Support**: Visual Studio Code supports a wide range of programming languages out of the box, compared to Squid's limited language support.
**4. Extensions Ecosystem**: Visual Studio Code has a vast library of extensions to enhance functionality, which Squid lacks in comparison.
**5. Platform Compatibility**: Visual Studio Code is available on multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, and Linux, while Squid primarily caters to macOS users.
**6. Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Features**: Visual Studio Code provides a full-fledged IDE experience with features like debugging, Git integration, and intelligent code completion, which Squid may not offer to the same extent.
In Summary, Visual Studio Code offers a more comprehensive and flexible development environment compared to Squid.

Visual Studio Code became famous over the past 3+ years I believe. The clean UI, easy to use UX and the plethora of integrations made it a very easy decision for us. Our gripe with Sublime was probably only the UX side. VSCode has not failed us till now, and still is able to support our development env without any significant effort.
Goland being paid, as well as built only for Go seemed like a significant limitation to not consider it.

I decided to choose VSCode over Sublime text for my Systems Programming class in C. What I love about VSCode is its awesome ability to add extensions. Intellisense is a beautiful debugger, and Remote SSH allows me to login and make real-time changes in VSCode to files on my university server. This is an awesome alternative to going back and forth on pushing/pulling code and logging into servers in the terminal. Great choice for anyone interested in C programming!
