"Code Editor of the Future"
What do you like best about Visual Studio Code?

This is an absolutely amazing and incredible code editor. Personally I can not imagine myself working without this code editor. It is super extensible and configurable and comes as an amazing editor out the box already. Has support for nearly everything, is open source and backed by a very large community of developers as well as by Microsoft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Studio Code?

I'd say the only dislike I have is that you need to spend some time to get this product configured and going for specific types of issues, but even that is getting better! Plugin Packs allow you to install all the extensions you need with one simply click to install and this enables you to hit the ground running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Free IDE for Developers"
What do you like best about Visual Studio Code?

Some of the reasons for which VS Code is considered a great tool include elegant design, superb performance, and flexibility. The software works well for almost any programming language. Being a student in university, VS Code is an often-used piece of software while participating in hackathons, coding competitions, assignments, and projects due to ease of installation and speediness of the software.

There are a number of extensions I use while using VS Code, such as GitHub Copilot, Blackbox AI, Live Server, debugger extensions, among others, because they increase speed and efficiency while coding and debugging. AI-based software, such as GitHub Copilot and Blackbox AI help in increasing efficiency, suggesting codes and building the logic of the program.

Integration of GitHub and MongoDB is quite simple when working on several projects within one workspace.

ROI is perhaps the best part of VS Code. It's absolutely free but packed with a lot of functionalities that cost money in many other IDEs.

Onboarding process is quite smooth because of a number of tutorials, extensions, and a Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Studio Code?

What I do not like about Visual Studio Code is that even though GitHub Copilot is a helpful tool in terms of providing suggestions and completing smaller codes, it cannot compare to AI coding assistants such as Cursor, Claude, or Windsurf. They have better context understanding and are capable of creating bigger parts of codes or processes.

A disadvantage that can be mentioned is related to configuration. Sometimes, configuration of different extensions and compiling and debugging tools can become difficult for novices. Using too many extensions may affect performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
