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).
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.).
It’s mind boggling. I know a lot of other tech has awful naming. But they at least have the excuse that they have a lot of products to name. 360 was dumb, one was dumber. One S/X was just weird. But Series S/X after that? Giant mess. Two S/X would have still been dumb, but at least people would know it was actually better.

Yes they’re different products yet they have very similar names.
