Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE
I'd estimate around 70% of our dev groups use Visual Studio in some form. My team primarily does web development and have a .net api. Our desktop, mobile, and core teams also rely heavily on Visual Studio for development of their applications.
- Extensions: There are many useful third-party extension that are easily installed to improve and supplement Visual Studios already long list of features.
- Package Management: This was a big change in the last couple versions and our teams rely heavily on the ability to easily install and manage versions of 3rd party libraries.
- Intellisense and Debugging tools: Visual Studio is extremely user friendly while also being extremely powerful and makes all aspects of development easier.
- I've always found Visual Studio to be a resource heavy application. Regardless of how powerful machine I'm using it can get bogged down. Especially if you need to run more than one instance of VS at a time.
- Visual Studio is definitely worth the price. The powerful range of tools in the application will help it pay for itself many times over.
- For myself, I can develop the quickest on any c# application inside of Visual Studio. It takes care of many of the mundane or frustrating tasks developers often deal with and help get you back to developing.
