Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE

Visual Studio IDE is currently being used in our IT department by our development team. We are using it by creating software solutions for our ERP that is outdated. We do not have the capital to buy a new ERP so we are leveraging the capability of Visual Studio to help make our ERP more efficient for current use cases in our company.
  • SourceControl integration
  • Collaboration
  • Installing Frameworks
  • Speed
  • Sometimes Nuget can be buggy and say installed something but did not
  • More themes? Purely aesthetic but more os a choice would be nice.
  • While source control is great I feel an interface-like source tree would be better
  • We can work together as a team on the same code. Collaboration
  • Productivity, almost everyone who has written code is familiar with Visual Studio so there is no learning curve
  • We have a combination of PC's and Mac's, both versions play nice with each other
Visual Studio can do what all of these alternatives can do and does them well. PowerApps is RAD and you just can't tweak apps like you can in Visual Studio. Xamarin is now supported in Visual Studio and IntelliJ is javascript which you can create inside of Visual Studio. Would you rather have three IDE's or one?
Large teams needing to build a software solution. Also, the fact that there is a free version for an individual is perfect for someone looking to "cut their teeth" and start programming. It isn't just an environment for writing C# and SQL. It supports mobile and game development as well, the community is huge so help is out there to learn as well.
