VS Code is great in that it can be used as a stand alone platform and/or opened from other applications (such as Power Pages) in its web-based version for editing. Given the many options for running a version of VS Code, we tend to use it frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VS code to me isn't as nice as the original Visual Studio. It has a simplified interface, and easily integrates, but some times I find it's a lot more cumbersome to figure out some basic functionality. That could be because I'm so used to Visual Studio and the way it does things versus VS Code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like its simplicity compared with Visual Studio or any of the AI coding forks. Those options still seem to do a better job in some areas, but the sheer number of plugins and extensions really makes this the best tool around for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly don’t have any dislikes about Visual Studio Code. It does everything I need, and I can’t think of anything I want from it that it doesn’t already have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio Code is the best development environment on the market. It’s free, open source, and supports multiple programming languages, which is essential for my work. Its code completion feature is excellent, and the extension ecosystem is impressive—developers can create their own extensions, and there’s a rich marketplace for downloads. I especially enjoy using Visual Studio Code for C and C++ development because finding a good C++ editor is not easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback of Visual Studio Code is the absence of built-in visual design tools for desktop or mobile application development. In contrast, Visual Studio provides integrated UI designers and drag-and-drop components for creating rich interfaces. As a result, building desktop Windows applications in VS Code can be challenging and requires more manual effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s perfect for web, mobile, and cross-platform projects, and it runs flawlessly on any operating system. Overall, it’s the most flexible code editor I’ve ever used.

Although VS Code is excellent, managing too many extensions can sometimes slow it down or cause compatibility issues. It also lacks some advanced features available in full IDEs like Visual Studio, which can be limiting for large enterprise projects. Still, for most development needs, these are minor drawbacks compared to its speed and versatility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The extension ecosystem is a big win for me. I can turn it into whatever I need—Python, SQL, PySpark, Docker, Git, or cloud work—without switching IDEs. It adapts to the way I work rather than forcing a workflow on me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio Code is lightweight, fast, and extremely versatile. The extension ecosystem is outstanding and allows me to customize the editor for different technologies like JavaScript, Python, Java, Apex, and web development. IntelliSense, Git integration, debugging tools, and terminal support significantly improve development productivity. It works smoothly even on large projects and is easy to configure for different workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Visual Studio Code is powerful, it can become resource-intensive when many extensions are installed. Managing extension conflicts or performance issues sometimes requires manual cleanup. Advanced IDE features like deep refactoring or enterprise-level debugging are not as strong out of the box compared to full IDEs and often rely on extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
