Visual Studio Code Reviews & Product Details

Visual studio code is one of the most enhanced and widely used IDE. I have been using it for the last 5 years. and it is just the best.

we have a lot of configurations starting from color, text size, etc.

The plugins and addons are also provided by Visual studio code which can increase the usability and lowers the workload.

We have inbuilt git in which u can easily push-pull your code change branches and other stuff.

The one major UI related feature is of having different colors for different values in IDE.

We have a good feature of opening multiple terminals in one IDE window which is great and reduces opening up multiple commands prompts.

one more feature of comparing files side by side helps to compare and merge code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall the features are stunning. just need to check the scalability of it for larger projects. one feature I am not sure if we can have it will be great we need to have an opening a specific folder only on the right panel that can reduce the confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft provide this tool as a free source, it's mean we have not need to work only windows operating system. this tool is working on all type of operating system like Linux, Mac os. There is no dependency now.

And it's free of cost so no need to payment for that.

Thanks Microsoft for individual developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio Code is a free cross-platform text editor that can be used for many different tasks. I use it on Windows, Mac, and Linux and I love how it works exactly the same on each OS.

It has great integration with Git right out of the box, and a large library of extensions. Right out of the box, Visual Studio Code has built in syntax highlighting for most of the popular programming languages. For more advanced IDE type features you have to install extensions, but It would be hard to find a modern language that doesn't have a corresponding extension in Visual Studio Code. I mainly use this tool for managing TODO lists and editing markdown blog posts, and for those tasks it is quite adequate. I also use it for writing SQL scripts.

It also comes with a built in terminal, which I love, because I prefer to use Git from the command line it keeps me from having to switch between the editor and a terminal window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio settings are managed in JSON files, and each extension you install also has it's own set of configuration settings which are managed in files. It seems odd to have a graphical user interface, but manage settings in this manner.

Language debugging looks like it is built it, but for every language I have tried to debug in Visual Studio Code it doesn't "just work" like most IDEs. You have to configure debugging for each project individually, not just once for a language. This is a real pain, because between projects I forget how to configure debugging. I have to read the documentation for to setup debugging every time. As a result, I don't use Visual Studio Code for serious code editing.

Visual Studio Code is a decent code editor, and it is free to use, but for the languages I most often use it is not even close to being the best free option available. For C#, Java, Kotlin, Go, and Python there are all freely available IDEs that are far superior and more full featured, supporting full life cycle development right out the box without having to install plugins, and the debugging will just work.

I like compatible GNU Linux deb and Windows 7, built-in Git command and option to complete automatic code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Autocomplete automatic code fails, does not combine correct code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the Git integration with VS code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to delete a branch as well in addition to other git options through UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use, a lot of packages, support different languages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficult to use to connect to data bases. For very robust solutions i think that is not the best solution, i prefere Visual Studio for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Visual Studio Code is that listen to your feedback and makes sure those improvements are added or bugs are quickly fixed as well. I use VSC for my Java Development environment and it works great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike is when we load couple of projects under the same folder the system lags a lot and makes it difficult to work efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the visual studio code because of it has many plugins for example you have to code for HTML or flutter or C#.

All of this you can do at one platform. You will get also suggestion and with colorful text to understand it properly. Speed of visual studio is very high compare to other big software. You can do code in any language by just installing plugin of that language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Error finding is quite difficult for visual studio code because of interface of visual studio code is some how difference from other tools. By the way it is good software for coding purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft visual studio code is my favourite because there are lots of useful code editing features packed in a single software.

It has feature that automatically writes the rest of the code.

It saves our time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes descent amount of time to open. No recommended for slow computer.

You need to save the file before executing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI was good and was easy to navigate to all folders and git enabled makes easy to create and commit branches easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't see any downsides it was a cool tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
