Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is used by all our web development teams supporting different languages and file types. It is highly customized and has great features for collaboration. Easy git integration making it easier for the team to do frequent pushes to their branches.
- It is highly customizable (Languages, File types, colors schemes).
- Great git integration.
- It is free, and multi-platform, we use it on different Linux distributions, Mac and Windows.
- It has great support for scripting languages but for compiled languages there are some better alternatives.
- A curated plugin list would be nice, there is a rather solid plugin suggestion mechanism, but some of the more junior members end up with some flaky plugins sometimes.
- Configuration sync to some cloud so you can easily move stations.
- It is an Enterprise level tool that is completely free.
- We managed to standardize on one platform while still allowing every developer to customize the platform to their own liking.
- Collaboration is great, and getting support from a team-member across the globe is easy.
- Sublime Text and Atom
We evaluated both Sublime and Atom, and while they are both great tools, they did fall short of the one-stop shop that is Visual Studio Code. The integrations with Docker, Live Share, Azure app services all add to making this a single tool for all our needs. Without having to sacrifice on what makes Sublime and Atom great tools.
