Nearly all the Integrated Development Environment, IDE, go by only one name. Even if the tech community coins another term for an IDE, it typically doesn't get a wide acceptance. There could be some reasons for this backhand compliment. The company that owns and maintains the Integrated Development Environment may not be well-known. They may not be in a commanding tech niche. The IDE itself may not be easy to use. Consequently, the code editor may not receive the blessing of the who's who in the tech community. The age of the IDE and its support for many programming languages are decisive factors.
Microsoft's code editor has more than two names: Visual Studio Code, VSCode, and code. Computer Science professors, Bootcamp teachers, students, designers, programmers, data scientists, and newbies know the IDE by these three names. VSCode is also a free IDE for Windows, Linux, and Mac computers. Code lets users install all the extensions they want.
These explain the massive complaints that followed the latest update of Visual Studio Code in August 2022. Many users experienced a blank display after they updated. Some found it flickering, and others couldn't run it at all.
Many users were already checking out alternatives like webstorm, hoping such a loss of significant code users would cause Microsoft to panic and quickly fix the inconvenience. This YouTube video shows how to resolve either of these challenges on Visual Studio Code on Mac, Ubuntu, Linux, and Mac on VMWare.

Type this command first on terminal, 
/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron --disable-gpu

Copy and paste these statements into Configure Runtime Arguments:
// Use software rendering instead of hardware accelerated rendering.
    // This can help in cases where you see rendering issues in VS Code.
    "disable-hardware-acceleration": true,
Then, save with command S
Close and restart Visual Studio Code.
The solution in the video is simple and not time-consuming. VSCode on Mac, Ubuntu, Linux, and Mac on VMWare will no longer flicker or show a completely plain white or black window when you turn it on and be unusable.
