Do you think Visual Studio Code was badly named? #125

First of all I love both the editor and the IDE to death!

But I wish Microsoft would have chosen a different name for Visual Studio Code, like not containing the word "Visual Studio" at all. Because it gets difficult to Google for specific help on these software.

I think the community has reacted to this, by largely referring to editor and the IDE as "VSCode" and "VS2017", respectively. So Googling those keywords instead does help.

But do you think a better name could have been given to VSCode? If you had to rename it, what name would you choose?
