This looks great!

Question, what are the use cases of Visual Studio Code rather than the built-in Roblox scripting editor? Wouldn’t that mean you would have to transfer more code? I think that the Roblox editor works well, but feel free to correct me if I am wrong or missing any features.

Well if you use Rojo you won’t have to transfer anything and the code will just update as you save and you will have access to services like git and tools on VScode so it’s a win win situation.
There’s no problem using Roblox cause Rojo is used mostly when it concersn 2 or more programmers working on the same project for efficient project management.
