Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visual Studio Code

All of our developers use Visual Studio Code for everything; we have teams working on Java, Python, and TypeScript, and they all use VS Code. With the help of extensions, we can connect to anything and personalize their environment as they want. Also, our developers work on different OS, and they can port their configuration and work in any of them without issue.

Pros

  • Flexibility
  • Compatibility
  • Personalization
  • Lightweight

Cons

  • Java development
  • Pipelines integration
  • More verified extensions
  • Free to use.
  • Quick setup.
  • Ready to go.
Microsoft Visual Studio Code is a really easy-to-use code editor. I personally tried a lot of code editors and IDEs. Some IDEs have very cool features, but are only for that language, or they have so many features that it can be hard to understand or use. While MVSC is just open and used.
As mentioned before, IDE's can be excellent with one thing, and the company we do a lot of things, so it's kind of annoying to have multiple programs, heavy ones to open your work, so just use one, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, personalize thanks to extensions, and you are ready to go.

Do you think Microsoft Visual Studio Code delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Microsoft Visual Studio Code's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft Visual Studio Code live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Visual Studio Code go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Visual Studio Code again?

Yes

It's difficult to say a scenario where Microsoft Visual Studio is less appropriate. I would say Spring Development, but our developers also use it there... so basically you can use it in any environment to code in any language or framework, share your environment configurations across operating systems, and have a high level of personalization thanks to extensions.
