Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visual Studio Code
- Most developers of my company use Microsoft Visual Studio Code. There is a fair percentage of testers and automation engineers that take advantage of it as well. From a testing point of view, training was conducted to enable us to code on Microsoft Visual Studio Code to run automation lightly.
- The language used by most of the testers is python. Because of the push for skilled cross individuals in my company, the ration of Microsoft Visual Studio Code users between devs and testers is closer to each other than one would think. I would imagine its somewhere close to 60:40. Workspace customization is a pro to most users here, which is what Microsoft Visual Studio Code provides.
- Extension support is amazing
- Works with different environmetns
- Dislike the autosaving that occurs, which one would think is fine but can be unwanted.
- Heavy app, system resource heavy and not that friendly to lowly specked PCs.
- Due to the flexibility of Microsoft Visual Studio Code and the fact that it is widely accepted, it has allowed 90% of my company to use it, and standardizing an app is always a plus.
- Notepad++ and Atom
Purely on the fact that support and having the app frequently updated alone makes this worthwhile over the others. Some of them also do share the ease of installation, but Microsoft Visual Studio Code has all the common pro points and more, making it a natural selection.
