Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE

Our company uses mostly Linux based tech, but from time-to-time, we do arrive at Windows-based tasks. In those cases, using Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code are our main tools for tackling problems. Mostly used for C# and C++ codes, sometimes TypeScript, we use Visual Studio as a reliable, modern, and highly valuable IDE.
  • Windows-based programming tools
  • .NET go-to developing instrument
  • Well structured, easy-to-use interface
  • Has a steep learning curve
  • Intellisense is sometimes a bit annoying for me
  • Wide language support
  • Close windows integration
  • Designer tools and other utilities
  • We were able to reach out [to] companies, who had smaller scale windows based tasks as well, so we could be ahead of "only Linux based systems" companies
It's a well [maintained], mature IDE, which has the benefit of being a [software] which only the most skilled developers works on, instead of being open source. It has a lot of very useful features, which most free IDE-s don't. Also, it has many options from commercial [license] to free usage, which is a big plus for educational introduction. Visual Studio was the first IDE I used as a professional, and ever since I find myself returning to it from time to time to only see how much it has grown.

Do you think Microsoft Visual Studio delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Microsoft Visual Studio's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft Visual Studio live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Visual Studio go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Visual Studio again?

Yes

[Depending] on the task, I would probably recommend Visual Studio for anybody, who would like to use a professional IDE and comes from a Windows-based environment. Maybe there are better tools for specific tasks, but for developing .NET projects, or windows based applications, or maybe educational purposes, Visual Studio is a stable candidate to provide a good utility belt for any programming task.
