Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visual Studio Code

I've developed a Powershell script in Microsoft Visual Studio Code to automate my daily tasks. The integration with Microsoft Co-Pilot has been very useful for writing and troubleshooting these scripts. Mainly, I use this script to automate VMware tasks, such as generating remote connections and performing routine operations.
Additionally, it provides an option to manage version control via GitHub account integration.

Pros

  • Specially troubleshooting of the code
  • Version control
  • Terminal output

Cons

  • Sometimes it isn't easy to find suitable addons
  • Sandbox mode can add extra value
  • Initial configuration can be tricky
  • It is entirely free but beneficial for coders.
  • Using Microsoft Visual Studio Code, I've created several PowerShell scripts that save hundreds of minutes per month
  • The usual workload has been reduced, and an improved work-life balance has been achieved.
Once installed and correctly configured, it becomes a powerful tool for its intended purpose. It supports various programming languages; for my academic needs, I used C++ and Java. It fully supported my academic goals. Basic training can be found through online resources such as blogs, Youtube videos, etc. Also, as mentioned before, Copilot integration makes it more potent than any other product in the market.
Microsoft Visual Studio Code offers a wide variety of addons for supporting most scripting and programming languages. In contrast, Power Automate differs from the tools we need for our business task automation. We were told to use Power Automate, but it couldn't meet our requirements because our needs were outside its supported scope.

I have utilised Microsoft Visual Studio Code for both my academic and work tasks, and it has proven highly beneficial in both situations. The Copilot integration is especially valuable, as it offers code suggestions when someone is feeling stuck or brainstorming ideas. Additionally, I've observed that Copilot can create entire code snippets when given the right prompts.
