What is IntelliSense?

IntelliSense incorporates a wide range of code editing features, including code completion, parameter details, quick information, and lists of members. These functionalities are also known by alternative terms like "content assist," "code hinting," and "code completion." In Visual Studio Code, IntelliSense is conveniently accessible for various programming languages, including JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, HTML, CSS, SCSS, and Less. While VS Code natively supports word-based completions across all programming languages, users can further improve their IntelliSense experience by integrating dedicated language extensions. The IntelliSense features in VS Code are powered by a language service that provides intelligent code completions informed by the language's semantics and an in-depth analysis of your codebase. As users type, the language service identifies possible completions and presents IntelliSense suggestions in real-time. Moreover, as more characters are typed, the list of suggestions for members—like variables and methods—is refined to display only those that correspond to the entered text. This streamlined process not only enhances coding efficiency but also helps developers concentrate on the logic of their code rather than getting bogged down by syntax issues, ultimately fostering a more productive coding environment.

    It's very flawless and beginner friendly plus, it is there by default with no need of further update.

    Positive

    It's very helpful for starters or some other Visual Studio Code users and it's reliable plus it's free of charge.

    Negative

    It can result in being very slow with complex programming languages such as C languages but it's good for Python.
