Visual Studio is very powerful and easy to use for daily development work. The debugging tools are one of its best features, helping quickly identify and fix issues. It also has great extension support and integrates well with different technologies, which improves overall productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Visual Studio can feel heavy and slow, especially when working on large projects. It also takes time to load and consumes a good amount of system resources. Occasional updates or extensions may cause minor performance issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Visual Studio for its Intellisense features which are great because their suggestions are typically spot on, allowing me to type my code super quickly. I appreciate the debugging tools that let me quickly check if my updates work right before sending the app to production. Copilot is also a great feature in both its chat and agent modes, providing solutions and suggestions that usually require a little tweaking and sometimes no cleanup at all. The layout and setup of project templates were fairly simple to learn, and the initial learning curve wasn't so steep, taking just a couple of days to get it set up the way I wanted.

Maybe its connection with GitHub repositories and the way these are synched together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a powerful all-in-one IDE. I can integrate C#, .NET, C++, and Python in one place, and the step-by-step debugging is very helpful. Most importantly, it integrates well with Azure cloud and the broader Microsoft ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It uses a huge amount of RAM, and its startup time is a bit longer than expected. The installation also takes more time, and it requires a lot of disk space (several GB). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Visual Studio is that it makes coding easier and faster. It gives smart suggestions while writing code, which helps save time and avoid mistakes. The built-in tools help find and fix errors quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike about Visual Studio is that it can be slow and heavy, especially on older computers. It takes time to start and sometimes uses a lot of memory. The setup process can be confusing with too many options. Also, updates are frequent and sometimes break things or take a long time to install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a mobile developer, I really like using Visual Studio for React Native development. It's a powerful debugging tool that quickly identifies problems and shows appropriate supported solutions. I also appreciate the built-in Git integration, which makes comparison of code, branch creation, and tracking changes easy. Additionally, Visual Studio's third-party and plugin integration is amazing, which adds a lot of value to my workflow. The initial setup is easy, thanks to the small size of the dmg, and getting more supported data and plugins is very straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You should enhance the UI for the tool, it's looked boring for many years. A little bit of change on panel division, making file swappable, and improving icon attraction and shape edges would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Visual Studio's debugger, which is quite good with inspect options and automated AI-based resolutions. Its context-aware suggestions and real-time error detection and code fixes save me hours of work. It handles huge projects smoothly. The Git integration provides direct compatibility with GitHub, making project management efficient. The rich, powerful AI-enhanced debugger makes handling errors easy with smarter breakpoints, and AI explains the debugging profile with diagnostics to explain and fix errors. The AI GitHub Copilot assists in writing full code or completing lines of code and managing references. The initial setup was a smooth experience, and there are plenty of tutorials and guides available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I notice performance issues, like it's slow to open, sluggish to switch, and laggy with updates. It uses a lot of memory and CPU. There's occasionally extension instability and crashes. Git integration is good but sometimes feels laggy. The UI clutters and is complex to learn for new people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Visual Studio for its perfect balance between being a lightweight editor and a full IDE. The extension ecosystem is unmatched, which is great whether I'm working on a React project or exploring ServiceNow integrations. There's an extension for everything, like ESLint and Prettier for quality code and GitLens for deep version control insights. I also enjoy the integrated terminal and Git which make development work smoother. Setting it up was very easy and quite fast, without a lengthy process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So memory usage, since it's built on Electron, it can become quite RAM intensive especially when I have multiple large projects and several heavy extensions running simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can handle all types of files, and the range of supported extensions is impressive. The native integration with GitHub also makes it easy to update repositories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit complicated to understand how to exploit the tool’s full potential, but even without knowing it to its fullest, you can still work perfectly well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Visual Studio for my daily coding tasks, specifically for Java, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, .NET, and C# projects. It helps me manage large codebases and provides excellent debugging capabilities along with the ability to connect with SQL databases for backend work. I appreciate that it solves the problem of switching between different tools by allowing me to write code, run it, and check the database all in one place. The biggest benefit for me is the git integration, which makes it very easy to push my code changes without using the command line all the time. The auto-completion feature is a lifesaver as it catches my small syntax errors even before running the code, saving me a lot of time and making my work easier. Connecting with Azure DevOps for version control and task management is seamless, and the integration with SQL Server Management Studio for database work is smooth. I switched to Visual Studio for its superior debugging and features for Java and JavaScript, which help me handle complex solutions more easily. The setup was quite easy as I was familiar with the tool from my college days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio is very heavy and it lags sometimes while running and working on large full scaled projects. My laptop fan starts making noise when I run big projects. Sometimes it takes too much time to load the Solution file which is a bit frustrating for me especially when I am in a hurry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio is a highly robust and feature-rich IDE that significantly improves developer productivity. The IntelliSense support, strong debugging capabilities, and seamless integration with version control systems make development efficient and structured. I especially appreciate the built-in tools for debugging, testing, and code analysis, which help identify issues early and maintain high code quality. Support for multiple languages and frameworks makes it suitable for diverse development needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio can be resource-intensive, especially on systems with lower RAM or older hardware. Startup time and solution loading can sometimes be slow for large projects. Additionally, the number of features and configuration options may feel overwhelming for beginners, requiring some time to get fully comfortable with the IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
