Integrations: I can integrate the tools such as Github, Jira, Bitbucket which basically allows me to work on the development as well as continuously deploy and integrate all within the same editor. It's support for git also allows me to quickly review my code and work on the changes/deployment as needed. 4. Integrated Terminal: Opening a project directory and working on the project while simultaneously working on the bash commands without the need to opening a new terminal helps with avoiding the problem of having multiple windows open and thus Visual Studio Code provides me an all in one coding tool where I can manage multiple aspects of a tech project all within the same coding tool. ### 16.

Best way to code **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rachel S. | Librarian, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Visual Studio Code?** I love that it is simple (or as simple as you can get without losing features you need to do in depth coding), and that there are so many usefull extensions. There are some amazing extension that allow you to be able to code easier with others as well as checking your code in general. There are also useless fun ones (such as the pets) that add to its appeal. I use it anytime I need to code and it is easy. I don't recall if it was hard to set it up intially with my github, but I don't think it was. Even if it was hard, it is still worth it! **What do you dislike about Visual Studio Code?** I honestly can't think of anything. I wish there was a quick cheatsheet for the different commands in the terminal, but that is more likely a me thing. I need to learn those better since they are universal. So not really VS Codes fault, that one is on me. **What problems is Visual Studio Code solving and how is that benefiting you?** It keeps my code very organized and helps me remember the next step in the code if I forget (since I am still new to coding).

Speaking of customer support, I've found it to be exceptional. I've never encountered any issues when seeking assistance. While I've experimented with other coding workspaces like Sublime or Notepad, I've found VS Code to be exceptionally smooth and user-friendly. Furthermore, I've customized numerous shortcuts in VS Code that have further amplified my productivity. In summary, it's an outstanding platform for coding **What do you dislike about Visual Studio Code?** When I mention the downsides, having lots of helpful extensions can actually make a developer a bit lazy. I start depending too much on these features, which can lead me to forget simple coding rules and make silly mistakes. So, while it's a good thing to have those helpful tools, they can also have a downside because they might make us a bit forgetful about the basics. Other than that, I haven't really experienced many drawbacks **What problems is Visual Studio Code solving and how is that benefiting you?** so which things developers need, they need a good workspace and tools that make life easier to code. That's where VS Code comes in. It gives us both: a great workspace and lots of helpful features.
