What are the differences between VS Code and Positron? I feel these are pretty similar.

[@Adam-Antios]

Positron is built on top of VS Code. Practically, it is a version of VS Code customized for Data Science.

[@jjmyt13]

If you ever program in R or python in VSCode, it's kinda night and day. Positron feels more like an actual cross-language IDE, while VSCode feels more like its been kludged together after the fact.

Looks like Positron is copying R Studio

[@BusinessScience]

Yes, but keep in mind it’s made by Posit (formerly RStudio). They rebranded.

@@BusinessScience Being an R user, I see no advantage for Positron vs Rstudio. Is there any for me?
