Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE

I use Visual Studio IDE for my C assembly and python codes. I also use it for git version control management. The Visual Studio IDE help me to get more insight of my code, in terms of how my code is structured and written. I use Visual Studio IDE in my daily work and also do Realtime debugging of my C++ code.
  • Debugging
  • Source code maintanance
  • Error handling mechanism in terms of building the solution.
  • If the existing source code do not have solution created, it is hard to link that folder with VS. We only can see the code , but cannot build it.
  • Not easy to define "user defied build rules" for our project. Empty Project option did not help everytime.
  • Nowadays, in latest versions of the Visual Studio IDE, it is hard to get speed of switching between two tabs or windows within one solution.
  • Git tool
  • Debugger
  • Internal code change history collection.
  • Positive impact is in terms of code maintenance and debugging is good.
  • Negative in terms of speed of response coming from IDE.
  • Moreover positive because of the way we can debug the code and review easily.
MATLAB and QT are way more different than Visual Studio. Despite of being famous as per their IDE environment, they would not stand much comparison with VS Visual Studio IDEs. because, MATLAB and QT are limited edition and feature related Visual Studio IDEs, and they stick to their design environment. Whereas VS Visual Studio IDE is like it covers vast range of programming languages for which the VS IDE provides keen platform for them to maintain the source code.

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

The Visual Studio IDE is well suited for coding such as c++ to C# and beyond, like Java and Python. But when it comes to assembly code structure or C code, it becomes less flexible to use as well as not suitable environment for such code base. I hope we get some improvement in this area.
