I like how Visual Studio integrates well in Windows, making it easier to work with C#. The debugging capabilities are particularly useful, allowing me to step in breakpoints which helps a lot. I appreciate the feature where I can hover over a class and get detailed information about how to use it, including what methods to use and their parameters. The visual tips are interesting and helpful, as they offer suggestions and simple code snippets. Also, the integration with CoPilot is a good thing, enhancing the code refactoring process.

It consumes a lot of memory. I think the system is not efficient, especially when I have to share that and ask a team member in a remote area where they don't have a computer with enough resources. That'd be an issue, especially when it compiles a complex solution. For someone who's not familiar with it, the initial setup would be kind of challenging. You have to be familiar with Microsoft products to install and navigate through it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Visual Studio is its powerful IntelliSense and debugging support, which makes it very efficient to work with large and complex codebases. The code suggestions, navigation, and error detection help speed up development and reduce mistakes. I also find the integrated debugging tools very useful, especially breakpoints, step-through execution, and variable inspection, which make issue resolution much faster.

Not much as I have been using this explicitly for most of my career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I continuously use Visual Studio Code for the last two to three years and find it provides everything I need, including new features like copilot mode and auto templating. It's great that it integrates with applications like MongoDB, which saves me from having to download and set up additional software. Visual Studio Code is easy for beginners to understand, and I can use it without needing tutorials or documentation. I really like the UI, it feels very hacker-like with the background and terminal. It's space-friendly, so my laptop doesn't heat up or get damaged. The features are mind-blowing. I appreciate the shortcuts and commands that make rearranging code easy, and setting up a Python environment in Visual Studio Code is straightforward. It's very easy to install, just download the .exe file and execute it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio Code is a very good application, but the Android version is too heavy. I want it to integrate with less space and less runtime complexity for Android development. It would make it easier for me to integrate my applications and develop Android apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Visual Studio is super lightweight and free, which is great for web development on my Mac OS. It's extremely powerful with support for a ton of languages, frameworks, and plugins. The initial setup is extremely easy; you just install and use it. Compared to Textmate, which is a text editor that can be used for coding, Visual Studio feels like a true platform for coding that is lightweight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't look and feel totally like a native Mac OS App, like Xcode for example. I can understand since it's a Microsoft product and aimed towards Windows, but I would like it to be more native. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out is how smoothly it handles large projects without losing structure or clarity. The debugging tools are precise and save time by showing exactly where things break instead of forcing guesswork. It also integrates well with version control, which keeps development organized without extra setup. The UI is clean and well organized, so it is easy to find tools and stay focused without feeling overwhelmed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing that i can highlight is - It can feel heavy and slow, especially on machines with limited resources or when working on smaller projects where it feels like overkill Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love most is how easy it is to write code, along with the way it helps with refactoring code files based on their file extensions. I also really like the dark theme, of course, and the global search functionality. Overall, it’s a super efficient editor. The extensions provided by VSCode are also really very helpful to analyze, especially as a Backend dev, one of my favourite feature is **Debugger mode**, the amount of time this mode reduced in analayzing code for a issue is next-level.

My only regret is that it takes too much time to load when there are multiple windows open. I understand the difficulty with heavier loads, but for our industry-level projects we often need to access many repos at the same time, so I’d appreciate it if you could look into improving this.

What I like best about Visual Studio is its powerful debugging tools, intelligent code completion (IntelliSense), and clean user interface. It makes development faster and more efficient by helping catch errors early and simplifying project management. The wide range of extensions and integrations also makes it highly flexible for different development needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of Visual Studio is that it can be resource-intensive and may run slowly on lower-end systems, especially when working on large projects. Sometimes the startup time can feel a bit long, and occasional extension conflicts may affect performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Visual Studio for its seamless coding experience, which is essential for a coder like me. I like its integration capabilities, as it connects with tools like Jira effortlessly, making my deployment process smoother. The extensions available, like the ones for Google Cloud, are very useful because I can utilize everything directly on the visual board without needing to jump between different platforms. The initial setup was straightforward; I just had to install the software, set the path in the environment variable, and it was ready to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yeah. The most important thing is the extension. So whenever we install an extension, we need to set up, you know, put something in the settings. We need to update something in the settings. Sometimes we need to update the JSON. So do those stuff, sometimes they are tricky. It's not easy to do that. So my suggestion would be, like, you know, if you have some extension or any software to upload or integrate with, if you do seamless, you don't have to manually do any JSON update or something like that. So, yeah, it would be better for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deep Debugging Capabilities

The debugger is honestly one of its strongest points. It lets me set conditional breakpoints, inspect variables in real time, and use “Edit and Continue” while debugging, which makes it easier to track down issues without constantly restarting my session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
