Visual Studio Code Reviews & Product Details

I like the VS Code is really fast and has a lot of simple, built in support for most things you want to do in an editor. The language syntax highlighting and smart completion is great. It can do basic things with git repos, especially with some additional plugins. Probably it's most useful feature is that it has explorer integration which makes it very simple to use ad-hoc. The UI is also very intuitive and has more features than you'd expect, such as window splitting, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The keyboard shortcuts don't seem to follow the conventions of other similar products, which always trips me up. Fortunately they are easily configurable.

Git integration could really be a bit more robust. There's a few extensions that help but ultimately it doesn't compare to a more fleshed out git UI that exists in a JetBrains IDE or even full Visual Studio. I wouldn't use VS Code for my big projects anyways, so for quick commits or checking out repos for read-only, it suffices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is the freeware version of the most popular Visual Studio IDE, that helps users develop REACT, ANGULAR and other modern web portal applications.

This IDE supports a lot of the features, but still can be considered as a lite and powerful one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would have liked more support for intellisense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use interface, lots of extensions and works with many programming languages. It is free so there's nothing wrong with that and the paid IDE's are not much different than Visual Studio Code. Unlike other IDEs where you need to create a project, with Visual Studio Code you just open a folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be hard to see with the colors. If you're using PHP, the "Go to Definition" doesn't always work but this is understandable as PHP can get messy when defining methods and functions. One thing that is solved using an extension (that doesn't work all the time) but would be good if Visual Studio Code had it builtin was to open a terminal externally rather than inside Visual Studio Code.

Visual Studio Code has done an excellent job of taking the code editor field by storm. The plugins are numerous, useful and first-rate, quality-wise. The software is extremely extensible, capable of handling anything I throw at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've yet to find an in-IDE method for editing remote files that seems like a good fit. The best I've come up with is opening the file from a separate FTP program and letting that program handle things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the way that you can customize it a lot easily with tons of plugins and it has support for every coding language I use. Except for one that is GCODE, so I read the documentation and make myself the plugin. Now it's on the Plugin Store so everyone can download it and can use it with color coding easily. Seriously I love VS Code, it's my main IDE for everything.

Also the autocomplete module is really helpful, and the TypeScript module while you're programming in Node JS is a mind blowing function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even if it's almost perfect, it's a bit buggy sometimes... for instance, the python "autorefactor when you save" is a bit buggy and indent it when it shouldn't, so you have to disable this espec or the code will not work.

Other fact is that when you open very large files, it stops loading more so it gets in half.

Also the git implementation is bugged and if you use ssh with password it doesn't work.

With PHP it doesn't really helps at all compared with other IDE's like PHPStorm or Netbeans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fast, doesn't chug like other solutions based on electron. Has a lot of good plugins too. The team over at microsoft has really done well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really have complaints for it that I can think of, it's really a fantastic product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It runs terminal inside the software, very customizable with a huge selection of additional features to download. Has an internal debugger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would love more theming options but otherwise no complaints at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like this code editor because it has a very good syntax highlighting with which I can find errors quickly, I can also configure it to my liking and place the topic of my preference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be a bit slow to find the syntax errors according to the programming language and the file size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The aesthetics and feel of this software is good that it entices users to use this software more often for their development.

It is very lightweight compared to other editors in the market(even paid ones) which have lots of useless functionalitity which take up lot of disk and memory space.

Also, it is free for personal and commercial use both which saves a lot of money for any organization. First time Microsoft has gone open source and free for their product, or else they would always charge some licensing fees for their software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Comparatively new so lacks a few features. Otherwise, nearly perfect product that developers use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
