Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE

Visual Studio is an IDE for developing/implementing apps for various platforms such as Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, web, and cloud.
It enables developers to write code accurately and efficiently. We use Visual Studio debugger to quickly find and fix bugs across language.
It has built-in profiling tools which help us find and diagnose performance issues. It also offers testing tools that helps in delivering high quality applications. It allows seamless integration with various source code such as TFS and GIT.
  • Great developer friendly development tool.
  • Ability to test your code during the app development, provides various ready to use project templates to get started.
  • Integrated test templates projects to run load and unit testing to deliver high quality software
  • Integrated cloud support
  • Allow to connect multiple source controls such as TFS and GIT
  • As a developer only thing I could think of is heavy memory consumption.
  • Would be nice to have a build in code decompiler
  • Integrated resharper kind of software would be nice to have
  • Using Visual Studio we can develop high quality software that means lot of happy customers.
  • It's a very developer friendly tool and easy to learn which means we don't need to spend lot of time training developers and hence rapid development is possible.
  • Since it has integrated cloud deployment support, we have only one place to go for any kind of software deployment.
Visual Studio Code is another great IDE which can be use to develop client side app fast. It does have lot of plugins support too but is no way comparable to Visual Studio IDE. Visual Studio IDE gives us immense options to compile and test our code even during runtime. We can change variable values during debugging and can find the actual problem using the stack trace provided.
Eclipse is another great IDE specifically targeting JAVA.

It's a tool well suited if you are planning to develop an app using .net framework targeting multiple platforms.

If the need is to write platform-independent code using programming language like java/python, then we can use Microsoft Code or Eclipse
