Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visual Studio Code

Most of the company's software engineers chose Microsoft Visual Studio Code as their IDE (integrated development environment). We do not force them to use any particular IDE, but thanks to its reach set of plugin Microsoft Visual Studio Code is a pretty obvious choise.

Pros

  • Syntax highlight
  • Git integration
  • Reach set of plugins
  • Different shortcut schemes
  • Dark theme

Cons

  • Plugin store might need a better moderation
  • No unified concept for integration with CI/CD tools
  • GitLab and GitHub extensions are quite different
  • 0 spending on a great IDE is so cool
  • budget approval is not necessary
  • engineers know it by default
It's just alright
