I like IntelliSense the most in Visual Studio. The debugging tools are really good. I also appreciate the productivity features, like the built-in GitHub support and the smooth dot net integration, which make development faster and easier, especially for larger projects. The initial setup is fairly smooth; the installer is straightforward and user-friendly. It's also very user-friendly overall and works well for enterprise applications.

Visual Studio can sometimes feel very heavy on the system resources, especially with large solutions. The start-up time and occasional slowdowns could improve. And a lighter experience for smaller projects would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Visual Studio is that it allows me to work very productively on complex projects. For example, in several of my recent projects—integrations with ERP, SFTP file processing, and services in .NET Core with Hangfire—Visual Studio helped me a lot with debugging, handling large solutions, and the integrated tools for refactoring and keeping the code clean.

sometimes it consumes a lot of resources and can become a bit slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Microsoft Visual Studio for its rich set of features and powerful debugging tools. It is easy to use once set up, integrates well with many development tools, and supports multiple languages which makes development efficient. However, it can sometimes feel heavy on system resources and the initial setup can take some time. I use it frequently for development and debugging tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Microsoft Visual Studio is that it can be quite resource-intensive, especially for large projects. Startup time and memory usage could be improved, and sometimes the number of built-in features can make the interface feel a bit heavy or complex for simpler development tasks.

What I appreciate most about Visual Studio is how easy it is to use and set up. The interface is intuitive and simple to navigate, even when working on more complex projects. Creating new projects is uncomplicated, and the platform offers strong support for multi-platform development. It allows me to begin working on development tasks quickly, with minimal configuration required, and it streamlines my daily coding, making the process smooth and efficient.

One aspect I dislike about Visual Studio is that it often feels heavy and sluggish, particularly when working with large projects. It tends to consume a significant amount of system resources, which can result in longer loading times and slower responsiveness. Additionally, the user interface sometimes appears cluttered, making navigation less intuitive. Frequent updates can also introduce minor stability or compatibility issues from time to time.

I like how Visual Studio makes coding feel smooth and organized — the IntelliSense suggestions and debugging tools save a ton of time. It’s like having a smart assistant right inside your editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d say the biggest downside is how heavy it feels — it can be slow to start up and sometimes eats up a lot of system resources, which makes it less smooth compared to lighter editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Visual Studio for the last three years mainly for Python development. I like the strong debugging tools it offers with smooth integration of with extension. It offers python and jupyter environment together. Mostly I use Jupyter environment through it and after successful testing of the desired step by step codes, I then go for integrating the code and run it in .py format. It also elaborates the errors which makes easy to detect them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, sometimes it becomes slow while heavy programming, like when I do ML in Python in this software, it becomes very slow and consumes a lot of time, sometimes the program crash after running a lot of time and I have to re-run the program which is more hectic.

Also, sometimes I feel that the plots I am getting via visual studio can be cleaner and a way more beautiful.

And managing the python environment in it becomes challenging, specifically when I upgrade the pip and want to enable the upgraded pip but it still works on the older version of the pip. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Visual Studio is its powerful debugging system and intelligent code suggestions, which make development faster and easier. I also appreciate how it brings coding, testing, and project management together in one seamless environment, so I can stay focused without constantly switching between tools.

What I dislike about Visual Studio is that it can be slow and resource-heavy, especially for large projects, and its complex interface can be difficult for beginners to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Visual Studio is easy to use and doesn't take up a lot of memory like other IDEs. I appreciate the ability to add plugins and update them easily. It's great that I can connect to test devices and debug programs without hassle. The initial setup of Visual Studio was very easy and straightforward, and updating plugins was a breeze.

I wish Visual Studio had more IDE options for things like modifying settings or connecting to a device to debug. It could be improved by having a better visual presentation that's easier to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Visual Studio for tasks like working with APIs and debugging scripts, and it handles high memory codes well compared to other IDEs. I appreciate that it allows me to do cross-platform development, coding for frontend, backend, scripts, and configuration files all in one place. What I like most about Visual Studio is its strong debugging tools and developer-friendly user interface. Additionally, its latest code suggestion feature is very helpful. It is well equipped to handle large projects, and I find the navigation better than other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that I don't like about Visual Studio is that for some smaller tasks it feels a little too heavy. Especially for Java-based tools, it doesn't have an extensive array of options. Some extensions take too long to be integrated. Initially, it felt somewhat overwhelming and complex for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Visual Studio is open source and completely free to use. There are also lots of extensions available, which we find really useful. We use the project manager extension to open various types of projects with a single click, and the runner extension to run the code easily. Plus, the initial setup is very, very easy; we just download from the official website and install it by agreeing to the terms and setting the path. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I rarely see some performance issues, which can cause Visual Studio to be a bit slow. This can be fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
