Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE

Visual Studio IDE is one of the latest products of Microsoft to aide the development community. This IDE is used in our product development department as the IDE of choice for both back-end and front-end development work. We primarily use Java and javascript frameworks in our development. This IDE offers full feature support for multiple frameworks and comes equipped with Git, bash terminal, debugger, and auto-linter.

Pros

  • Visual Studio IDE is perfect for multiple languages and frameworks.
  • It is extremely light weight and you can run multiple instances without hogging too many resources.
  • Has a wide plethora of plugins and add-ons to make it more feature rich.

Cons

  • In the earlier versions of the tool, the IDE would sometimes randomly crash while using the Intellisense feature.
  • Not many issues to complain about in this product.
  • Having moved from IntelliJ to Visual Studio IDE, we have found much more increase in developer productivity.
  • The product is entirely free hence its excellent for larger companies as well as independent developers.
The IDE is perfect for Java related development work. We also use it for coding Python scripts maintained by our DevOps teams. As the product itself is very resource friendly we use it as the default program for editing most code files.
