Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE

We are using visual studio within development of Enovatio Portal. We concentrate on Microsoft .NET so it is the primary and only IDE. Working with the solution on many projects has improved our process, and it is market standard and the best IDE for .NET. We have one department that use Visual Studio.
  • Integrates every layer of development.
  • Helps make standards.
  • Has plenty of add-ins.
  • Front end development.
  • You have to purchase resharper to work better.
  • Sometimes it is slow and requires good computers to work.
  • We have visual studio professional thanks to silver certificate within MS.
  • Standardized development.
  • Every .net programmer works within this IDE without training.
We are using this IDE together so we don't use one against the other, true also is that when you would like to develop .NET solution there is no other choice and you should always use Visual Studio. It is standard and it is made by the producer of the framework. We will see if something will change when .NET core really starts working on linux?
It is very well suited for any .NET development as Microsoft is the product owner. It integrates very well with IIS and SQL Server. It has plenty of functionality and is very stable and well tested. What I see as less appropriate is only with front end development, where we are using JetBrains tools.
