Visual Studio Code Reviews & Product Details

The best thing about VS code is the availability of an extensive collection of extensions for each and every language available out there. Integration of different programming languages in VS code is at the same level as the dedicated IDE for the same language. This makes it very helpful for programmers and developers as this sets a standard way of coding regardless of the language we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From my use till now, I think VS code has never been left out of any features. It is filled with features that a developer needs. Thanks to the features of adding extensions which really help users to integrate hundreds of 3rd party tools. They have an amazing and always helping the community. The UI is simple and straightforward. Also, they have very good documentation and support for mostly all languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, compilers face tough issues when checking multi-language code, identifying errors, and highlighting code that should not be highlighted. Also, there are situations when the compilers crash. There's a scope for improvement in the live share features. Also, beginners face difficulty to install a compiler on the VS Code and its integrations. It would be great if VS Code could just ask the user to tick all the 3rd party services and compilers that the user wants and then VS Code could do that for the user. That would save so much time and efforts of the user to integrate it with VS Code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The trust file pop-up can be annoying sometimes and the linters don't work as expected highlighting issues which don't really cause errors after compiling. The linter issue might be a problem with the plugins though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio Code is known for its wide variety of plugins. As a full-stack developer, I mostly use VSCode for front-end development purposes. It has a great way of formatting code and for HTML page design It has a great plugin called Live-Server which displays the page right away on your Browser. Apart from Frontend development, vscode can also be used for coding and practice of Competitive coding as It has minimal setup requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VSCode however is not helpful while doing java spring boot development for which we may use Eclipse or Intellij platforms that comes with a great setup for Application development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
