Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visual Studio Code
We currently use VS Code extensively for coding and specifications documents. It's mostly used by the development and customer success teams. VS Code is fast and provides numerous extensions to help make code more readable. It's constantly improving and supports popular and domain specific languages. Many of these extensions include auto-generation and formatting to improve productivity and assist the team in maintaining standards.
- Widely supported across different environments.
- Great support for various DSLs.
- Would be nice if it had better Java support, the extension is getting close but still not as good as Eclipse.
- Not a fan of many of the default shortcut keys (e.g. find all references).
- VS Code has saved development costs via auto-code generation time and good syntax highlighting.
- VS Code has helped us catch bugs earlier in the process.
I've used Eclipse and NetBeans for Java development and VS Code was easily competitive with NetBeans but I still haven't found the development experience to be as good as Eclipse when working with Java. I've also used the Visual Studio IDE for C# development and have generally found that to be a bit smoother for developing C#/.NET projects. Aside from this, VS Code has been better for virtually every scripting environment I've worked with; I've found it provides a smoother run time and is more feature-rich than Atom or Sublime Text.
