What do users say about Visual Studio Code?

The extension ecosystem of VS Code is unmatched. Extensions like Prettier, Tailwind CSS IntelliSense, and ES7 React snippets save me hours of coding time. The built-in terminal is also ultra-smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I open very large project folders or install too many extensions, VS Code tends to consume a lot of RAM memory, which sometimes causes slight performance lags on mid-range laptops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is one of the best tools to code with GitHub Copilot. I use it regularly to build utilities, review code, and debug issues. The best part is how easily it integrates with GitHub Copilot, saving tons of time that I’d otherwise spend coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes extensions don’t work as expected, and you have to reinstall them to get them working again. For example, a lot of the time the GitHub Copilot extension won’t work after you update VS Code to a newer version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Visual Studio Code is that it is fast, lightweight, and easy to customize. I use it for coding projects and the extension support is really useful because I can add tools for almost anything I need. The built-in terminal and Git integration save time, and it runs smoothly even on average hardware. Sometimes finding specific settings can be a little confusing, but overall it makes development much easier and more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Visual Studio Code is that after installing many extensions, it can sometimes become a bit slow and use more memory than expected. Some settings are also hidden in different menus, so finding a specific option can take longer than it should. For beginners, configuring certain features or extensions can be confusing at first, and occasionally extension conflicts cause small issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Visual Studio Code's debugging and integration capabilities. It gives me flexibility to integrate with Git, allowing me to stage changes, write commit messages, handle conflicts, and track differences all within the same platform. For debugging, I appreciate being able to set breakpoints and inspect variables across multiple languages like Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Node.js, which allows me to diagnose issues without needing to switch between different tools. This functionality helps me pause execution at precise points to trace problems effectively. Overall, I depend on this software daily, and for years it has never failed me.

Configuring extensions in Visual Studio Code can be confusing, especially for newbies who might not know which ones to enable. Having too many extensions enabled at once can reduce performance. Differentiating between workspace settings and personal user settings isn't intuitive, particularly when onboarding to a new project or machine. The startup time is a bit high, and it tends to slow down as more extensions are accumulated over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual studio code is one of the best tool ,i mostly like it is we can install any extentions or any modules via commands and also best future is git hub copilot option we can fast up our works with single prompt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing, all the futures are very well . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Visual Studio Code is its extension ecosystem and lightweight performance. It supports almost any language framework or tool. Intelligence and code session increase coding speed. Due to the integrated terminal, the need to open different command line tools is reduced. The performance is also quite good, performing well even on large projects. For me, its most valuable feature is its extension ecosystem, whether it's for automation testing, API development, or working with database connectivity and cloud services, there is always a good extension available. This makes it easy to customize according to one's needs and significantly increases productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think there is any improvement in this; for me, Visual Studio Code is performing quite well. And in my experience, the biggest challenge is extension management, but when the number of extensions increases, it can put pressure on both performance and maintenance.

The creation of agents for process automation and integration with AIs, everything about extensions can be very well utilized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though it is lighter than other apps, it is still demanding, at least for the equipment that average SMEs in LATAM can afford. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best feature of Visual Studio Code is its extensive extension ecosystem. It allows lightweight, lightning-fast customization, transforming a simple text editor into a powerful IDE by effortlessly adding language support, debuggers, AI assistants, and themes tailored entirely to your workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plugin Conflicts & Broken Updates. Because extensions are made by different independent developers, a random update can suddenly break your setup, conflict with another plugin, or cause crashing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio code offers support to run any coding language which helps to have only one code editor for any language. Apart from them it offers a lot of extensions that help us in writing efficient code and find errors easily. While working it helped me a lot as i had to work with different coding languages so this one editor was only thing i needed while working on our recent project I was stuck with some debugging issue the ai in the editor helped me resolve that and to complete my work on time.

Sometimes it starts lagging with some large programs. Also recently only github copilot was launched in visual studio which made it little more tricky to use .The copilot given in it is very hard to use and makes the code more buggy.In one of my project I had asked to resolve the issue and why my code was not working but the copilot of vs code made it more worse.

i have been using visual studio code mainly for my college projects and web development work . The best thing i like is that it is very fast and doesn't hang like some heavy IDEs. The interface is simple and easy to understand , even for beginners. Extensions are really helpful,like for React,java,and debugging .It also has built in Git support which saves a lot of time.Overall , it makes coding smooth and productive for daily use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

one thing i did not like is that sometimes you have to install many extensions to get full features, which can make it a bit confusing .Also when too many extensions are installed , it become slightly slow . For bigger projects, I feel full IDEs like IntelliJ or Eclipse perform better.Apart from that , sometimes small bugs or extension issues happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
