Programming productivity among informatics students in completing final projects often encounters various challenges, including code complexity, technical errors, and limited ability to fully utilize programming tools. These conditions indicate that the usability quality of code editors plays a crucial role in influencing students’ effectiveness, efficiency, and consistency in programming activities. Visual Studio Code, as a widely used code editor, provides various features that potentially support productivity, yet its effectiveness depends on users’ experience and perception. This study employs a quantitative approach with a survey method to examine the effect of usability based on Nielsen’s Attributes of Usability on programming productivity. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring learnability, efficiency, memorability, errors, and satisfaction. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that all usability dimensions have a positive and significant effect on programming productivity, with efficiency identified as the most dominant dimension. These results indicate that the usability quality of programming tools plays an important role in improving students’ performance.
