I've been looking around various programming tutorials and sites and

I think it might be free to download pre-compiled, but I'm pretty sure it is
not open source.
It is open source.

I stand corrected :-), yes Visual Studio Code source is maintained on github: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode

Of course, not to be confused with Microsoft Visual Studio, which was probably where I got my incorrect verification via google from.

vscode is just a code editor, not an IDE, although it looks like it has nice bells and whistles.

I'll still leave this here, as it's turtles all the way down:
