I don't find open source support as many other communities have like Python, Java.
Which I think is changing now and may step they have taken like Visual Studio Code, the Cross-platform release of the .net environment. etc

Yeah I agree. VSCode, .NET Core, and Typescript are some of the projects that gives the impression that Microsoft is really invested with open source moving forward. I'm excited to see how it goes in the future.

Do you thinks VS Code could replace Visual Studio?

It depends on your workload, I think. VS is more of a heavy IDE for a Microsoft stack, while VSCode is a more of a jack of all trades text editor. And I'd probably use VSCode for a NodeJS project, while VS for a C# desktop app (though either can work). So yeah, they have overlaps on their use case but still target different workloads.
