A lightweight and convenient tool with an excellent community. Great for working with notebooks and very easy to debug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I personally use a Mac, and for some reason on macOS it doesn’t save my working folder by default. Every time I reopen the tool, I need to reconfigure the folder again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

this is best editor tool with multiple functionality, extension, etc.

we can open multiple project code in this editor

also we can use split method in this editor.

for example i have open one project folder and editing one file but i want to compare two function code then we can split that file using command ctrl + \

there is a multiple extension like code beautifier, debugger, git extension, AI agents.

tool setting is also good like auto save, format on save, auto save when no error, save conflict resolution, etc.

we can open any file like txt, php, coffee, html, js,tar file, etc.

we can easily manage our git changes like last file changed time, also compare the new old code.

if our project have multiple branch then we can also manage this in the this tool.

easily search and add the extensions.

Multiple langauge supported.

i am daily using the visual studio code.

we can also set auto update visual studio if update is available.

So overall it is good editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If we have large lines file then it take sometime to open

I had been using VS Code since I was doing my MCA. My god this is so good... Previously Xcode ruled the coding world with its UI and features. Atom and Brackets did some part but not that great as VS Code did. The themes, plugins and easy integration makes VS Code worth the shot compared to big IDEs like Visual Studio or Jetbrains' Webstorm. I use it regularly coupled with GitHub Copilot. It has all my code aware context responses that help me with my existing code and what it does instead of explaining what I need to do and what this code does. More importantly, the way it also keeps tracks of Open PR's for this code, what errors and typesafety features it provides is just what blows my mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Given VS Code is built on Electron it is a very big memory hogger. I was a HP Pavillion with around 32 GB of RAM and Zorin OS installed but if I have 2 or more workspaces running it lags like hell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an amazing code editor for all the development needs. Best for java development and code management through git integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform crashed under heavy load and also has performance issues sometimes when fetching new repositories. Many features are paid and is expensive to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Visual Studio Code to develop my projects, and it has also supported me in learning new skills and improving my practices. Working with this tool has helped me refine my abilities and grow as a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, VS Code simply freezes, and when I'm working with dev containers, it can feel as slow as being on a 3G network. The experience can be quite frustrating, especially when there are noticeable lags during heavy usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how customizable Visual Studio Code is, it truly stands out as one of its most appealing features. The ability to tweak themes and add extensions means I can adapt the software to fit my personal needs, making it feel like it adapts to me rather than the other way around. This flexibility ensures that I can maintain control over my workflow, which immensely improves my coding efficiency. Furthermore, Visual Studio Code provides a super flexible, lightweight environment that is capable of managing different programming languages with ease. Its vast array of extensions simplifies tasks and enhances the overall workflow, making it feel like an all-in-one coding companion. The software's integration capabilities are remarkable; it works seamlessly with other tools in my toolkit, such as Git and Docker, making it a versatile choice for various development tasks. The initial setup is straightforward, with user-friendly default settings that enable me to get started quickly. These features make Visual Studio Code an incredibly valuable tool for both personal and collaborative projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that even though Visual Studio Code is lightweight, it can become a bit heavy when using a lot of extensions or working on big projects. Additionally, some of the settings can feel overwhelming at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a fast and lightweight code editor that offers excellent support for extensions, built-in debugging features, and a customizable user interface. It really helps boost productivity when working with a variety of programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using a large number of extensions, I notice that it can become sluggish and sometimes experiences performance hiccups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Visual Studio Code for more than five years now, and it remains the most versatile and user-friendly IDE I have ever encountered. Every tool I use has an available integration through extensions built right into the platform. I truly enjoy working with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't really anything to dislike, but I do think the overall smoothness of the UI could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VS Code stands out for being fast, lightweight, and extremely flexible. Developers love its powerful IntelliSense, smooth Git integration, built-in terminal, and highly customizable interface. The vast extension marketplace allows you to tailor it to any tech stack, and features like Live Share make real-time collaboration effortless. Its cross-platform support and frequent updates further solidify its place as a go-to editor for many developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Despite its strengths, VS Code isn’t without flaws. Relying heavily on extensions can bloat performance, especially in large codebases. Some features like debugging or advanced workspace setups require manual configuration, which can be a hurdle for new users. Extension conflicts, limited native support for some languages, and lack of full-fledged project management features make it less ideal for complex enterprise environments.

At first i will start with the Design. it is very good and it will automatically highlight the functions in the code with colors according to the selected language. it is very responsive UI and also has many integrations that we can use like git, and it has extensions we can install like thunder, azure functions etc. Customer support is also very good and i will use it everyday in my daily life. it is easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It will lag sometimes and when we open the vs code directly it will open directly without folder even though if we do open with folder sometimes. and if we run huge code then sometimes it will stuck for 1 or 2 sec. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
