Easy to use great for .net
It is being used directly in the engineering department. This IDE is used for development purposes for our company to design software applications. It is also used for unit testing and debugging. The biggest problem this addresses is a development be platform for C#. We also have used it for our database development and code management. Visual studio also ties into DevOps we creates a tight integration point for bug tracking. We are able to tie code check-ins to the software issue
- Full featured
- Integration with DevOps
- Ease of use
- No stashe with GIT
- Learning curve for beginners

IDE for Windows system based tasks
Our company uses mostly Linux based tech, but from time-to-time, we do arrive at Windows-based tasks. In those cases, using Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code are our main tools for tackling problems. Mostly used for C# and C++ codes, sometimes TypeScript, we use Visual Studio as a reliable, modern, and highly valuable IDE.
- Windows-based programming tools
- .NET go-to developing instrument
- Well structured, easy-to-use interface
- Has a steep learning curve
- Intellisense is sometimes a bit annoying for me

Long-time Visual Studio IDE user
We use Visual Studio IDE across our entire organization as our primary development platform. Visual Studio has become a great way to develop software for most platforms that we target. The beauty of Visual Studio is the way it handles legacy applications. We have been updating and modernizing a lot of apps recently and combining the ability to work with apps written 10 or more years ago with programmability has made the work much simpler.
- Full Stack Web Development
- Legacy app compatibility
- Working with a team on larger projects
- Code completion/checking
- Debugging
- Can be slow at times
- Learning curve can be daunting
- Cost for some versions can be a challenge if you need the features

Artillery of the Developer: A comprehensive IDE
Visual Studio IDE is used throughout the organization in many directorates and departments such as IT, R&D, Manufacturing and Automation, for software and algorithm development projects, whether the application/algorithm that is being developed is a backend manufacturing software, frontend .NET software or an embedded software application written in C/C++, C# or Java. It is also used to develop AI and machine learning algorithms and pipelines.
- User Interface/User Experience
- Debugging
- Library management
- The vast functionality comes with the cost of being slow so speed has room for improvement.
- The vast functionality also brings huge size both in the disk and main memory, which contributes to the slowness.

Microsoft Visual Studio IDE (Enterprise) is a great tool for medium to large businesses
Being a part of a software engineering team we use this tool in order to maintain and create software needed by the business. It allows our team to have access to a suite of tools required to create the software, test the software, protect software source control, and deploy the software out to many environments for use by our customers.
- Build Web and Cloud applications for free.
- Large selection of development languages, i.e. Visual Basic, C#, PHP, Objective-C, JavaScript and Visual C++.
- Heavyweight tool that can feel overwhelming or confusing when first using it.
- Learning curve of the IDE can be daunting for beginning programmers.

One Stop Shop For Your Programing Needs
Visual Studio IDE is currently being used in our IT department by our development team. We are using it by creating software solutions for our ERP that is outdated. We do not have the capital to buy a new ERP so we are leveraging the capability of Visual Studio to help make our ERP more efficient for current use cases in our company.
- SourceControl integration
- Collaboration
- Installing Frameworks
- Speed
- Sometimes Nuget can be buggy and say installed something but did not
- More themes? Purely aesthetic but more os a choice would be nice.
- While source control is great I feel an interface-like source tree would be better

Visual Studio - IDE. Prominent with Good Reason
We are using Visual Studio as our main IDE because we have integrations with Azure, Visual Studio Team Services (a service that uses Git for collaboration), Odata, etc. Since we primarily use these tools, Visual Studio makes the most sense for our development of an application. In terms of our stack, we primarily use Visual Studio for the Web Service side. The main problem it solves is that it integrates well with our other systems out of the box so there are fewer headaches when setting up and maintaining environments.
- Visual Studio is, of course, good at developing C# applications. With its smart tools to help debug, catch errors, and enforce standards it can be a good tool to use in order to develop applications quickly
- Visual Studio integrates well with Microsoft related products. If your technology stack is mostly created by Microsoft, this is a good fit
- When creating applications, there are different templates that are useful for starting a project, particularly their Website MVC model which was helpful for students first learning about Visual Studio and C#
- We've had trouble with the Microsoft team services with Git on multiple occasions. Sometimes logging in to a Microsoft account using their Visual Studio IDE can be a problem. And to fix the issue is not intuitive sometimes.
- Developing a project such as SQL Server Database Project or SQL Server Analysis Services can be weird sometimes. Files can change without you noticing and can be difficult to fix.
- Especially for the REST projects, the .edmx files can be hard to use. Refreshing the DB to reflect whats in the DB is very inconsistent. I rarely use this feature and often just delete tables in the DB then just re-add them.
- Workarounds just exist throughout much of Visual Studio sometimes, but there are enough resources out there to figure out what's wrong.

Microsoft VS - Entry Level Review
Visual Studio Code provides developers with a powerful development tool, while avoiding the expense of the full Visual Studio Pro, Enterprise or others. It is available on multiple OS platforms, making it ubiquitous. It allowed us to streamline the number of development tools used (Vim, Sublime, etc.).
- Clean UI
- Fast
- Intellisense
- Code debugging options directly in IDE
- High Learning Curve
- More expensive than competitors
Our development team recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2015, and were previously using Visual Studio 2013. The applications we develop allow a physician to register for certification exams and continuing education modules, manage their profile, receive communications from our organization and aid our scoring process to name a few key projects. We use a variety of technologies including ASP.Net MVC, web API and web services, message queuing, ORMs, and Angular to create these platforms which are all developed with Visual Studio.
- Visual Studio 2015 has improved support for TypeScript, which has smoothed our teams transitioning to Angular 2. Intellisense and keyword recognition were not well supported in the prior releases.
- The latest version of Visual Studio incorporates a new "My Work" tab for Team Explorer which allows developers to efficiently track work items assigned to them, as well as request, accept, decline, and perform code reviews. This additional has allowed my team to improve our in-house code review process during our day to day sprint work.
- Visual Studio does an excellent job of incorporating external tools that can be added on to provide additonal support and allows a developer to create custom toolbar buttons. We do just this we tools that we use for compiling TypeScript for Angular 2.0 projects, as well as tools to help us enforce coding standards, and unit test code coverage.
- Visual Studio offers great debugging functionality for unit testing, which has allow our teams to improve our application performance and trace errors much more quickly.
- The native support for Jasime in Visual Studio 2015, while developing unit tests for Angular 2.0, could be improved. I have found myself using an alternative version, Visual Studio Code, to perform this task as the native support is much better.
- I find that the auto-formatting of HTML files leaves a bit to be desired. Too many developers are careless with indentation, and when making changes to files that have been maintained by a developer whose indentation varies or has been careless, the auto-formatting does not do a great job of adjusting the indentation making it confusing and time intensive to make the adjustments manually.
- Visual Studio could use better organized menus, allowing me to find all windows, such as solution explorer, team explorer, and debug windows, in the same menu so that I do not need to hunt them down. I'd prefer spending more time on the code, and less time remembering which menu hold the options for each window and toolbar.
