VS Code Pro already exists. It's called Visual Studio.

Despite the name, they have basically nothing in common. They don't share a user interface, they don't share plugins, they don't share hotkeys.

One of the main complaints many of the C# developers on my team have when they have to touch languages that aren't well supported by Visual Studio is that they don't know how to work VSCode.

They do share some plugins actually, that is why VS nowadays also gets a node instance running on the background.

And also why C++ workloads depend on .NET being available.

I'm well aware of the differences between the two products, since I use both on a daily basis. My answer was a bit flippant, sure, but they are both IDEs developed by Microsoft and Visual Studio is definitely the "Pro" version of the two.
