Today Microsoft released the Visual Studio Code file/folder editor.
The first limitation is it appears to be a single-instance application.
Is there a way of getting multiple instances, or otherwise having it open multiple folders simultaneously?

You can simply do File>New Window and open the other project in the new window. Because after you close VSCODE and launch it again it opens only one of these two windows. But with workspace you keep both.
Open a second instance of Visual Studio for Mac To open a second instance of the integrated development environment (IDE), right-click on the Visual Studio icon in your dock or Applications folder, and select New Instance.
You can have multiple projects in one instance of Visual Studio. The point of a VS solution is to bring together all the projects you want to work with in one place, so you can't have multiple solutions in one instance. You'd have to open each solution separately.
Ctrl + Shift + N will open a new window, while Ctrl+K then releases the keys, and pressing O would open the current tab in a new window. You can then use menu File → Open Folder to have two instances of Visual Studio Code with different folders in each window.
⌘ + Shift + N and ⌘ + K for Mac.
