> It has always been Visual Studio Code

Perhaps since public release, but I was informed by a PM who was part of the original product development that this was a concession to marketing, and it did not always have the name “visual studio” attached.

Which is exactly OPs point. If they’d brought it forth with just the name “code” it would have been just as dumb as these guys complaining about code-server. Which is exactly why it ended up vscode, which is destiny enough that it possible both to market, distinguish and protect as a brand.
