Visual Studio Code Reviews & Product Details

The best feature of VSCode is that it allows you to do development in all sorts of languages. It is very lightweight unlike Visual Studio Professional, which required 5-10 GBs of space on your computer. In VSCode you just have to install relevant Extensions for your development needs and that's you, you can start development completely for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes searching for some setting in the pallet is difficult. Dont know if this feature of pallet is known to other developers around the world from using some other product. But I find it tricky to use the pallet to search for setting. Maybe it will require some getting used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visually clear and crisp looking font though everything is customizable. Lots of packages are available for integration and language support. One thing I like about visual studio is the ability to connect to a remote server in a simple way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I noticed and I slightly have a different opinion about Visual Studio Code is the connection to the remote server loses now and then. I have to reconnect and wait for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the blend of simplicity and customization. Being able to have a plain text editor when it's nice to focus purely on the code, but then some easy keystrokes away from access to recent files, other projects, command prompt, and any added extensions make the coding experience more manageable. Speaking of extensions there is so much support for the editor with extensions for nearly anything you could need for your project workflow. It's also fun to swap out themes every now and then to keep the editor environment fresh. The editor gets regular updates and some of them even incorporate 3rd party extensions into the base build.

Honestly, there isn't anything that comes to mind as to what I dislike about the program. The main thing I think people may struggle with is how complex the editor can get, but there are many tutorials and classes out there to help and Visual Studio Code has detailed documentation as well.

It's a perfect code editor with tons of customizability options, user-friendly themes, and interactive plugins that can help you go through all of your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A newbie might face problems while setting up enviornments but its alright when you are used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I settled on Visual Studio Code, I also considered other options such as IntelliJ Idea and others. Because of the wide plugin base supported by open source developers and its speed when compared to other programming editors, I picked visual studio code above the other options. Because developers are already accustomed to the coding environment, VS Code is incredibly straightforward to integrate with businesses and developers. It was largely a software modification rather than a technical change in terms of programming. It was only a new editor at the time. It's really simple to switch from one to the other. I propose trying out Visual Studio Code and setting up a local development environment for a programming project of your choice if you're considering it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It shows warnings and faults in the code. In such a case, we'll have to restart Visual Studio Code. Also, turning off telemetry is tricky, and some add-ons might cause the software to crash. When it comes to checking multi-language code, finding errors, and highlighting code that shouldn't be highlighted, compilers can run into serious problems. It's a little difficult to properly set up for a new user. Choosing the proper extension might be tough because there are so many that accomplish the same thing.

The best thing about visual studio code is that it is expendable... You can simply add extension and start workin, for example if you want to work on python project and you need python snippets then just install relevant extension. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mostly it is a good choice for code editing but when it comes to large scale projects like Android project where you need emulator and complex debugging then you can not use VS code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Add-on marketplace is huge and every day bigger. You can find a lot of add-ons that help you to code really faster. This IDE is polyvalent. You can use it in a lot of different languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I dislike is that it is not open-source software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VSC will support almost all languages and extension for related tools also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Required more documents to setup the project and tools in the VSC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's lightweight.

It's super configurable.

It's flexible.

It has a rich community, which means their would be extensions for almost everything.

It's backed by Microsoft.

It supports Github's Copilot - that's amazing in itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integrated terminal can be a bit hard to deal with sometimes. It clips output, so its possible that with verbose logging, the log you are looking for went out of the window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very lightweight Text Editor for programmers, which supports different programming languages like Java, PHP, Js, etc. The best part is this editor supports a large number of plugins which helps users during coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Those users who are using other IDE may have difficulty with this Text Editor at the start. Also, users may lose their extra time on plugins feature but at last, users definitely like this Text Editor very much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
