I have no idea on the name thing. What Microsoft are doing? Every one of their products just has a truly awful name now all of them are confusing.
See Microsoft Studio Code (an expensive and entirely average but workable program that is rarely used) vs MS Code (a truly excellent free program that has become industry standard) - Oh and both programs icons look basically identical and are slightly different shades of blue but otherwise have the same image.
Are you talking about Visual Studio Community/Professional/Enterprise and Visual Studio Code? Because if so, I don't really agree. Visual Studio is an IDE (VS Community is the free tier) whereas VS Code is a code editor (as the name implies).
Yes they're different products yet they have very similar names.
Your comment says "Microsoft Studio Code" and "MS Code", neither of which is a thing (as I tried to point out). The actual software you're talking about is "(MS) Visual Studio" and "(MS) Visual Studio Code", and that naming convention is pretty common for products (and other things) that are different but similar (think Photoshop and Photoshop Express, PSX and PS2, C and C++ etc.).
