Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE

Visual Studio is the most compact IDE which I can think of. It's been used by our IT Department to code for web applications. It is simple to use and support large number of addons. It also provides tools to format the source code so that it can be understood by other coders. It addresses the issues of cross platform development. Various websites are being developed using Visual Studio. It also provides an addon which helps you to run your code on the live server which helps you to test your code.
  • Improves collaboration in small teams

  • Live testing is provided by Visual Studio which helps to test your code on its live server.
  • No Native debugger

Visual Studio provides a variety of plugins which helps coders to code in different programming languages. The speed of the IDE is much faster when compared to other IDE's like NetBeans and Bracket. It helps to keep revisions of the file using source control like Git and Subversion. Live Unit Testing makes it easier to test your application, fix the errors and assures you that you are on the right path.

It provides features like IntelliSense and syntax based highlighting which makes it easier to code and can be considered as a favorite among coders.
