Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE
We develop .Net based products for resale. Our entire development department has an MSDN subscription including Visual Studio.
- Intellisense, code completion and snippets speed up the coding process.
- Debugging tools - breakpoints, watches, step in/step over, etc. Excellent for finding and eliminating bugs.
- Window docking and floating allows the user to customize the UI to show the code/properties of interest, and to optimize the workflow.
- Integration with team foundation for source control and bug and feature tracking.
- Sometimes it takes a long time to start up Visual Studio.
- Larger solutions can take some time to load into the IDE.
- Larger solutions can take some time to build.
- VS increases productivity of our developers as we are a Windows and .Net development shop.
- VS fits our development process with its integration with Team Foundation.
For .Net development on the Windows platform, there really is not a better alternative.
