Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE
Visual Studio IDE provides the employees of my organization with the proper toolset for developing Microsoft dotnet applications. It is used by some departments in my organization for the building, debugging, analyzing and deploying software. The Visual Studio IDE has one of the best code syntax checker and provides great assistance when developing new code. Finally, there is a vast community of developers that provides a lot of support for the application.
- It provides a great syntax checking facility that reports about any error within your before running it
- It provides fantastic code recommendations for making your code more efficient and readable
- The addition of NuGet packages using visual studio is a breeze by using the package manager plugin
- I think updates of the IDE should be done more seamlessly as current new updates of the IDE requires that you have to download huge files of approximately 5GB
- Visual Studio has impacted my company positively and has significantly reduced the development time of applications since there is not a overhead as it relates to configuring the IDE
- Employees enjoy using this IDE over the alternatives because of the ease of use it provides. Therefore bugs can be fixed in a more timely matter than before.
- My organization currently implements continuous integration and continuous delivery, with the help of visual studio team services, we can now instantly build and deploy applications to our customers with minimal effort. A delivery for us normally takes an entire day it now takes roughly 3 hours
I selected Visual Studio IDE because of its fast syntax analysis capabilities, the ease of which I can install, update and remove packages from my application. The IDE comes with an integrated SVC plugin which allows the fast synchronization of my code. NetBeans falls down in all of those areas, however, Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA are great competitors. I meanly develop dotnet applications, VS IDE comes defaulted for this purpose, therefore, it is my first choice.
