    As a web developer, I use Visual Studio all the time. What I find most helpful about Visual Studio are its collaboration capabilities, particularly its interaction with Git version control systems. This approach maintains the feasibility of code review while promoting effective collaboration and project management.Furthermore, Visual Studio makes it very easy to use extensions.

    Visual Studio is a very powerful IDE.I enhances code efficiency with features like IntelliSense and Syntax Highlighting. The inbulit debugger is helpful for easier identification and creection of bugs. Customization is a key strengh of Visual Studio with the use of various extensions. Cloud based development is also easy with Visual Studio as it can be easily integrated with Microsoft Azure. There is a wide community & customer support for Visual Studio as well. I, personally love how easy it is to implement ideas to code with Visual Studio's syntax correction and debigging tools. I use Visual Stuido for almost all my projects.

    Visual Studio crashes all the time. I have personally used the program and downloaded it for clients as a tech support consultant - the program is unreliable over 90% of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    It is easy to find support for all-Microsoft solutions, but if you want to create something not Microsoft-centered (say, use a DBMS which is not MSSQLServer), it's difficult to find documentation -- and to integrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    I spent 40 minutes watching all the intro videos, and when it got time to start I have literally no idea how to start coding in c++, and nowhere on the internet provides a valuable guide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    The extension marketplace is very good. The built-in terminal and Git integration are also huge time-savers.

    Visual Studio Code is the preferred IDE for µServices development include Java Microservice. Best IDE for .Net core, NodeJS, Python and also Spring Boot coding with very friendly user interface and necessary extensions. Embedded debugging features and CI/CD Pipeline facilitators make day to day business easily and productive enough.

    We use Visual Studio IDE to make software that will be used with our product. We use the .Net framework with C# language. Visual Studio IDE is probably the best programming IDE we are using. We use it for more than 10 years and we plan to use it for another 10 years and beyond.
    Easy to build software Easy to debug our software Intellisence is fine

    Use it to help create educational applications for inside and outside the classroom. Develop literacy and reading productivity apps for K-12 and beyond. The use of Visual Studio helps us configure our applications to address the needs of a variety of challenged readers as well as readers in all age/ability groups who are required to read for long periods and may be overwhelmed by the amount of media needed to cover.
    Allows for unique configurations within our app builds. Allows for team sharing that is easier to manage. Helps promote better team communication while saving valuable time, too.

    Overall: VS Code has allowed me to easily maintain workspaces of related code files, search between them, and track and understand the current state of many codebases. It's intuitive and has many shortcuts that allow me to edit code quickly without taking my hands off the keyboard to use the mouse.

    Overall: Basic coding and general development issues. Not my first IDE to turn to. Benefits: Fast and easy to use and quick loading time if you need something faster than standard VS IDE.
