Visual Studio IDE

Allows for unique configurations within our app builds.

Allows for team sharing that is easier to manage.

Helps promote better team communication while saving valuable time, too.

Accessing the Visual Studio account more easily would be SO helpful.

Ongoing improvement in the Visual Studio's security will also be most appreciated, as many of our creators with IP for their applications are protective of that IP.

Great features and packages

Easy to use

Provides mistake free coding

Sometimes publishing code has too many errors and it is hard to figure out what is wrong

Debugging needs to be easier

Search needs to be better if report is very big

Best UI I've seen in IDE products. It looks nice and features are easy to find.

Easy to add features to IDE on-demand, no need to download anything separately after initial installation.

Integrates well with other MS products, like Azure or Office.

No Java support.

In some cases when it's loading something it doesn't let you do anything with the UI. Some other IDE's do these operations in background and you can still keep working.

Community edition requires Microsoft account registration.

I like how the tabs and panels are organized; everything is gathered together so you can find what you're looking for quickly.

If you can't find something, there's a thorough search engine that searches all of Visual Studio's features.

The Team Foundation Server feature is fantastic since it allows us to easily deploy and roll back changes on the server.

Visual Studio is good at debugging, however it can get stuck at times, requiring you to either stop debugging or restart Visual Studio.

The application is heavy and takes a long time to load.

Visual Studio has a wonderful UI, but it feels a little difficult, particularly for newcomers. This is a minor flaw, but it still feels like it could be better.

Set of rich libraries for different languages.it is not stuck only with c# using this you can write code in other languages also.

Code debugging is very simple and accurate.

Creation of class library and executable files are awesome features.

Inbuilt IIS hosting is great features to host your application.

Visual studio initial load takes quite longer to setup your projects.

Taking time to install and uninstall the application.

Understanding unnecessary code

Making more interactive IDE

Debugging client-side JavaScript is so easy in Visual Studio. Other IDEs such as Jet Brains WebStorm provide some form of debugging, but noting is easier than Visual Studio. In particular, its the only tool that lets me put a break point in client-side script and walk the HTTP request into a Web API and back.

With other lighter-weight tools, even Visual Studio Code, you have to dig around to find the right way to include 3rd party libraries or frameworks into your code. With Visual Studio NuGet is always handy since its built-in to the IDE. The other nice feature is after you add a package through NuGet, it searches your code and alerts you to other packages that might need upgrading.

Our company uses Team Foundation Server for source control and using the Visual Studio IDE makes it completely transparent. Its so simple to bring down a fresh copy of your code, check-in a file or compare versions of a file.

While we use the Enterprise edition, it's great that Microsoft offers a slimmed-down community edition for others. This makes it easier for college students to get familiar with the Visual Studio IDE for free and then later makes it easier to transition over to the Professional or Enterprise Editions when they enter the business world.

Because AngularJS and Angular have taken the development world nearly overnight, it would be great if Microsoft updated Visual Studio to provide better support for debugging Angular and AngularJS code. Years ago, a free third-party plug-in existed called Batarang which helped developers see the contents of Angular object. Unfortunately, as Google moved forward in development this tool was ultimately broken. Visual Studio lacks real support for providing debugging tools for Google's popular front-end framework.

Software developers are either C# or Visual Basic developers...though its rare to find a VB person anymore. Unfortunately, the Visual Studio IDE never lets you choose which of the two language to install. As a C# developer it really would be great if I could tell the installation module to not install VB or its project libraries.

The code snippet feature in Visual Studio needs upgrading and wizards so it becomes a first class citizen in the IDE. Visual Studio would become so much more useful if I could right-click snippets of code and with a single click tell the IDE to add them to my snippets library. This would kick off a wizard that could help me edit the snippet to make it more reusable. Today if you want to use the Snippet Editor you really have to dig around the web to figure out how to make it work for you.

More robust build administration than what is offered on the web

Certain settings and features can sometimes be challenging to locate. The interface isn't always intuitive.

Sometimes there are too many ways to do the same thing. For example, users can quickly add a new workspace in Source Control Explorer when a local path shows as "Not Mapped," but it doesn't indicate that the user might want to check the dropdown list of workspaces. The shortcut of creating a new workspace by clicking on the "Not Mapped" link can lead to developers creating too many workspaces and causing workspace management to become unwieldy. If the shortcut link were removed, the user would be forced to use the Workspace dropdown. While it can add an extra step to the process, workspaces would be managed more easily, and this would enforce consistency. At the very least, there should be a high-level administrative setting to hide the shortcut link.

Initially, problems with GitHub integration may occur. It can be difficult for all members of the team to get involved in the project via GitHub.

I think it is quite successful in such operations as rearranging, renaming variables as smart, converting one or more lines of code into a new method, changing the order of method parameters.

The Quick Launch search box, called "Quick Launch," allows us to find everything we need in Visual Studio quickly.

Linux environments do not provide as much performance as windows systems. In addition to this, we need to check the configuration at the beginning of the manual need to do

Provides a smooth, efficient IDE for developing .NET applications.

Debugging tools are better than any other IDE I've used in the past.

Has a great selection of extensions, e.g Resharper and OzCode.

Visual Studio can be clunky and slow at times, much longer loading and building than Rider.

Having the manually save after becoming used to auto-saving and automatic local history is an annoyance and constant fear.

Provides a single interface for developing across tools

Updates have become much easier as the SQL tools have moved to extensions.

The IDE install/update process has become more streamlined over the years..

Integration with Azure DevOps is now excellent and continues to improve.

Continuing instability with the IDE, which often results in uninstall/reinstall to remedy issues.

Still somewhat bloated even when slimming down the installed options

Overkill for some development (VS Code, the better choice for specific patterns)

Shortcuts for performing tasks

Integration through plugins for different programming languages

I have difficulties working with the file explorer and some layout provisions of the IDE.

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.

The command line interface isn't very responsive.

Having to search for the missing SSRS tools menu is a pain.

Heavyweight tool that can feel overwhelming or confusing when first using it.

Learning curve of the IDE can be daunting for beginning programmers.
