Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE

In our company, but also in most of the companies where I worked, Visual Studio is the primary development tool. I think that is without a doubt the best software on the market, I find particularly heavy version 2012 for the rest nothing to say, stable, reliable and documentation in case of problem solving is everywhere.
  • Well documented
  • Endless possibilities of applications
  • Developed by Microsoft
  • Latest versions too heavy in terms of resource consumption
  • It requires a thorough study of the instrument in case of first use
  • The costs could be revisited
  • The cost is not excessive and the updates are frequent.
  • Each license is a developer longer able to bring results and then gain and new products.
  • If you put in the right hands the ROI cannot be estimated.
There are several software and some IDE (Integrated Development Environment) available on the market but few are real compilers, often require the use of external compilers to use it as a engine. For what is my experience, when it comes to IDE, Visual Studio remains the best choice of all.
The infinite range of possible applications makes it a perfect development tool. If you want to develop services, applications, apps, some types of scripts, ssis packages (I use it a lot for this scope), using language that you prefer and have complete control of the code, this is the program that is right for you.
