Visual Studio Code Reviews & Product Details

VS Code has integrated development features that are, according to me, beyond what it advertises as a text editing tool. Support for frameworks and libraries such as React, Vue, and Angular is spectacularly and I am always left in awe because of how well this editor implements its features.

But if these sound intimidating to you, just know that there is a welcome page where the editor tries to explain many of its functions. There is also a playing ground right within the software you can try out a lot of the features advertised without the fear of interfering with your work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't really think of a time when I didn't like Visual Studio Code. I could say that it should support other languages as much as it supports the ones used for web development but that would not be okay because then I'd just want it to be a mere text editor that syntactically highlights the code written in any language without doing much past that.

Visual Studio Code is, in my opinion, a tool that should mainly be used for web development and if you try to use for any scenario then you might find that it has a lot of shortfalls Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The extensions and keyboard shortcuts you can set up make it so easy to code basically as fast as I can think. No more monotony of formatting or copy pasta. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The extension host crashes occasionally, and I have to restart it. That only takes a few seconds tho. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using Visual Studio Code for front end development in our project. It is a very good IDE and has a lot of out of box functionality provided for the developer so that you can complete your development fastly.

It also provides a very good debugging tool to debug the code and find out any error.

It is a very lightweight IDE and you can easily get it from the internet. There are multiple plugins are available to extend its functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found any dislike in Visual Studio Code as it is fulfilling all my requirements as a developer.

I Visual Studio Code should provide built-in support for GitHub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most interesting thing about VSCode is that it is built in Engine.js due to which you can easily open and work with files having even thousands of lines of code, It won't get stuck. Thus remarkable high performance is the best feature for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing which I think should be improved in VSCode that it doesn't suggest appropriate suggesstions. Within Atom I always feel like the suggestions shown when typing are almost exactly what I was looking for. So yes suggestions mechanism should be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This Text editor is very easy to use because of the shortcuts introduced.

If we use git for our project development it can be managed by this editor.

As a ubuntu user and .net core developer vs code is the best text editor for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User interface should be developed more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The community and the extensions that exists are massive and some are so simply but extremnely useful. The community and open source nature really has created something special with this IDE. It is consistenly rated highly by the community too which is unusual for a Microsoft product. The web development surpasses full visual studio - it's light and clean for web development.

It is missing many of the things I have come to love in the full Visual Studio and does not yet have support for ReSharper which is a big let down for me. I would certainly say I miss the ability to develop solutions like full Studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how you are able to integrate third party development tools within the editor and they have a native fee. This brings my work to one central location so I don't have to keep shifting between applications. For instance, I have both docker and azure installed in VS Code thus making my work easier.

I also enjoy using VS code's interactive playground which you can use yo learn how to use the software to the maximum so that you end up getting the most from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio Code, even in its default state, is a particularly heavy application that almost feels like a full-fledged integrated development environment. ANd a case can be made for that considering how much you can stretch the editor's functionality. However, and in my opinion, it beats logic to call an IDE a text editor. There's not much difference between Webstorm's (for instance) resource usage and VS Code's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio Code has many great attributes. The navigation integration with Git is one of my favorite things to come from Visual Studio Code. Also the color coding is very helpful while writing and debugging your code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Something I very much dislike about Visual Studio Code is how slow it takes for the application to open up. It runs incredibly slowly compared to many different text editors. It's not easy to format the editor in specific ways. Even opening one file in a different window takes a good minute to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ability to quickly find and install useful packages without any issue. Whether it's autocomplete, a linter, beautifying and formatting code, etc, I can find a package for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the node.js debugger - I think the documentation could stand to be more explanatory. With other IDEs, it just WORKS without too much configuration. I think the wide array of options in VSCode gives users analysis paralysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found it quite interesting to be able to use a single program to develop in different languages such as c, c ++, php, python, and javascript, it has helped me a lot with memory since I have deleted programs such as netbeans, notepad ++ and others Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first it seemed a bit confusing that there are two programs with the same name (visual studio code and visual studio community) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
