Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE
We use it in our Application Development department to maintain code for our web platform application, web APIs and AWS lambdas.
- Good Intellisense.
- Very intuitive as far as the organization which is very helpful when I'm trying to find a configuration or feature I'm not familiar with.
- Overall, a very good appearance.
- Easy to use debug and testing tools which makes trouble-shooting code issues much easier.
- It can be a bit slow when dealing with bigger solutions.
- It uses a large amount of memory which can slow down your computer substantially.
- Sometimes the granularity and scale of configurations can be overwhelming.
- In the past, we've had some versions that would constantly crash when dealing with SSIS packages. This caused a great deal of time wasted, but the issues have been largely fixed as far as I can tell.
- Overall, using Visual Studio has greatly sped up the development process for our team and made it extremely easy to collaborate on shared sets of code.
