At this level, users are expected to understand the basic purpose of Visual Studio Code and be able to recognize its interface. They should know how to open and close the application but may not yet be comfortable with more complex tasks.

Novice users can perform basic operations such as creating and saving files or projects. They can use simple code editing features like cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo. They also know how to navigate through the code using keyboard shortcuts and use the basic search functionality.

Intermediate users are comfortable with advanced code editing features like multi-cursor editing, find and replace, and code folding. They can configure user and workspace settings, install and manage extensions, use the integrated terminal, debug code within Visual Studio Code, and work with Git and other version control systems.

Advanced users can customize the Visual Studio Code interface with themes and icon packs, create and manage tasks, use snippets for faster coding, set up and manage multiple workspaces, configure and use built-in linters and formatters, and understand and use the command palette.

Expert users can create custom snippets and publish their own extensions. They can configure advanced debugging scenarios, automate repetitive tasks with macros, optimize Visual Studio Code performance, and troubleshoot and resolve issues with the application.
