  • We saw an immediate productivity boost moving to VS Code from VS working on our Single Page Applications, especially our Angular apps.
  • VS Code also gave us a much better environment from some of the simpler editors we tried, like Notepad++. The plug-in architecture provides a lot of power that we took advantage of.
  • VS Code has some very nice integrations with Azure if you use the Azure ecosystem.

  • It has reduced the development and debugging time significantly.
  • The keyboard shortcuts make the developer work much easier and it practically eliminates the need for a mouse.
  • It is a free tool for commercial purpose as well.
  • It is definitely worth of the investment (which is actually 0). I have not come across any negative impact.

  • By increasing our production and reaching our objectives, the impact of its use is highly positive.
  • The main objective of our organization is to bring justice to the population, therefore everything that helps to be more efficient will be accepted
  • Since our organization is public in nature, the return on investment is measured in the satisfaction of the population.

  • It's eased development because Visual Studio can be unwieldy sometimes with all its features buried in menus and submenus.
  • Unlike Visual Studio Code which is pretty much what you get when you install, Visual Studio Code provides new features monthly and does a darn good job with publishing nice release notes that can be called up quickly.
  • It took longer for us to decide to use Visual Studio Code because our legacy source control system as Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Code didn't support it. We had to decide to make the switch to Git before adopting Visual Studio Code.
