In tutorials and in the programming book I am following, it all shows something like this to be on the homepage of vscode:
I want this too, so I can press the "Create a new project" button. However, my homepage of vscode looks like this, also after re-installing:
How can I create a new project?
The tutorials you're following are for Visual Studio. You've installed Visual Studio Code. Despite the similar names, they are completely separate products with completely different UI's and implementations, but with a little overlap in functionality. If you want the full Visual Studio (the current version of which is 2022), you probably qualify for the free Community edition, which you can download here, though of course you should double check the license to be sure.

I would like to know if Visual Studio Code provides an API that help you develop a desktop application on top of it platform. The main idea is to do like in Eclipe RCP or IntelliJ Plateform.
I want to use the plugin system available in VS Code instead of developing my own plugin system.
Any help, any link or any information will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
There are at least two ongoing projects that you can take inspiration from in this field:
https://theia-ide.org/ by Eclipse, which is an extensible platform to develop multi-language Cloud & Desktop IDEs. In the screenshots, you'll clearly distinguish the part coming from VSCode (like the Activity Bar) and custom ones, like the flexible layout system.
https://v2.onivim.io/ based on Vim but that should also leverage the VSCode plugins ecosystem according to the roadmap.
I came across this picture in June 2020 (v1.47) Visual Studio Code update notes.
I tried to search for this theme, but did not find anything like it.
I think it might be the standard look and feel of Visual Studio Code on some Linux distribution (like Manjaro or other).
I was also looking for it. I found it:
Github sharp theme.
You can find it here:

I'm using VS Code several days as MonoDevelop replacement in Unity3D on Mac OS. I installed mono via homebrew as suggested to let VS Code to parse system assemblies. Everything works almost great, but I can't navigate definitions that are not part of my code. For example I can't go to definition of System.String or UnityEngine.Vector3 to see methods signatures. MonoDevelop has Assembly browser but I miss it in VS Code. Does anybody know if VS Code has such feature? Maybe I need to setup something for that?
PS: I've posted feature request. If you're interested in this feature vote for it, please.

It seems VS Code now can do that with the new extension ms-vscode for C# support. Previously it was recommended to use Legacy C# Support for Unity3D. I don't know exactly if this recommendation is still valid, but I tried to uninstall legacy and to install normal one. After some background work OmniSharp parsed my files and now it can open classes from assemblies! Look at this picture, it has open AnimationCurve class as [metadata]!
I'm trying it with Unity3D 5.5.0b2 beta now, so I'm not sure if this will work with production release of Unity3D. By the way I also removed VSCode plugin from dotBunny out of project as Unity3D 5.5 supports Visual Studio Code self.
Using the new Visual Studio Code editor vs 1. This is not the full Visual Studio IDE but their atom.io based code editor. I would like to install plugins specifically for spell check and formatting my code. How can I do this?
I've followed instructions here: Is there a command for formatting HTML in the Atom editor?
but realized that I do not have a install plugin command.
It's been a few months since the question was asked (and answered), but thankfully, things have changed!
VSCode now support extensions!
Here's a relevant excerpt from the above blog post:
Extension Marketplace/Gallery
To complement the extensibility mechanism, we have also launched an in product gallery and web based extension marketplace. These allow you to discover and install extensions. To open this up in VSCode, simply hit F1 and select Extensions: Install Extensions.
Alternatively, you can browse the Extension Marketplace at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/#VSCode.
I gave the marketplace a quick search and easily found multiple extensions for spelling and source formatting, but I'll forego making any specific recommendations since everyone's requirements are different.
For anyone looking to write their own extensions for VSCode, take a look at the documentation for extending VSCode, as it has a lot of the information you'd need to start writing your own extensions.
Lastly, thanks to Daniel for his comment. It helped me find the information I needed, but to save future visitors some time, I thought it was worth sharing my findings.
Plugin support is not currently enabled in the VSCode editor. The development team were not happy with the plugin API, so they have disabled them until further work can be made on this.

Nowadays you can use Prettier and Code Spell Checker for the purposes.
Here are some use case for spell check:
Load a CSS, JavaScript, Text, etc. file. Words not in the dictionary files will have a squiggly underline below the text.
To see the list of suggestions just click on the 💡 (lightbulb) in the left hand margin. You have the option to add your own words to the workspace dictionary.
I need to navigate through the whole android api objects inside the Android Studio to find out classes that extend an individual class and also list of class and interfaces that is extended by an individual class in a hierarchy form.
In a simple word I need something like visual studio's Object Browser inside the android studio.
any solution?
Navigate menu > Type Hierarchy.
This is what comes with the IDE: into Project Tab, select Project View, and browse the External Libraries.
Updating info since the question is from '13
Sadly I couldn't find anything after about an hour of digging beyond the 2 awkward and not comparable answers above.
My solution was to create a chrome window app of the page located at:

It's only after you leave Visual Studio that you understand why people say VS users are spoiled. I guess Balmer really meant it when he said it - DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS =)
