Programming Software

As a student, I found that VS Code depends heavily on extensions, so setting up a new environment takes time. Some extensions can slow down performance or cause conflicts. It also doesn't have as many built-in debugging and project management features as a full IDE like Visual Studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before using VS Code, I used different tools for coding, debugging, and version control, which slowed down my workflow. VS Code combines everything in one place with extensions, Git integration, and a built-in terminal. It helps me write code faster, debug errors easily, and manage projects efficiently. This has saved me time and made learning programming much more enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downside is that GitHub can feel overwhelming for new users, especially with branches, pull requests, permissions, and repository settings. Some advanced features and team plans can also make pricing harder to understand. The interface works well overall, but finding certain settings or managing larger projects can take some time to get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub helps solve the problem of keeping code, version history, and team collaboration organized in one place. It makes it easier to review changes, track issues, manage different versions, and collaborate without overwriting each other’s work. The documentation and community support also make onboarding easier when someone is new to GitHub or needs help with a feature. This saves time and gives the team better visibility into what has changed and what still needs attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managing a growing number of feature flags over time requires discipline to clean up ones that are no longer needed, otherwise the codebase accumulates unnecessary complexity. Pricing scales with usage and seats, which can get expensive as the number of flags and monthly active users grows. The initial setup for integrating flags cleanly into existing code took some restructuring, especially for parts of the codebase that weren't originally built with feature flagging in mind. Some of the more advanced targeting and experimentation features have a learning curve before getting full value out of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LaunchDarkly has let us test new features on a small subset of real users before a full rollout, catching issues early without risking a broken experience for everyone on the platform. This has made deploying changes to core functionality, like trip flow updates, much safer, since we can instantly disable a feature if something goes wrong instead of needing an emergency rollback and redeploy.

Not just me—many regular Notepad++ users share the same complaint: the updates and patches are released too frequently. I don’t like it when I’m working on an important document or in the middle of coding and an update pop-up suddenly appears. It’s really annoying and breaks my focus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anyone who wants to code without dealing with fancy editor settings will naturally prefer Notepad++. For example, we are in the consulting business, working with multiple clients and handling documents in different languages. Most of the time, we’ve found that in Notepad++ the text in those languages doesn’t end up displaying as ??? or other garbage characters. It helps keep the document’s originality intact.

We would all like for it to be able to be faster, but it is getting better, and vastly better than traditional tools. I would like to be able to more easily accommodate refreshing sandboxes in the pipeline (or hot-swapping). No real dislikes, just feature requests, I guess! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's allowing our team to be able to work across the globe, on projects that may or may not overlap in terms of metadata components that we touch, while not hindering our ability to deploy changes. We overall much more efficient not only in the standard build -> deploy, but we're not fixing things accidentally overwritten when someone else updated the same layout, etc.

It's also integrating with Jira so that we can capture actual changes made in tickets, that we can then use to auto-generate actually useful release notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about GitLab is that it can feel a bit complex at times, especially when setting up CI/CD pipelines or managing advanced configurations. The flexibility is great, but it also means there’s a learning curve before everything works smoothly. I also find that the interface can feel slightly heavy or cluttered when working across multiple projects, which sometimes slows down navigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitLab solves the problem of fragmented development workflows by bringing source control, CI/CD, issue tracking, and collaboration into a single platform. This benefits me because I don’t need to switch between multiple tools to manage the full development lifecycle. I can handle code reviews, automate builds and deployments, and track issues in one place, which improves efficiency and reduces context switching. It also makes collaboration smoother since the entire team works within the same system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I dislike about Redgate Flyway is that every time I manually need to migrate changes. It should have AI integrated into it that automatically migrates all changes whenever there is any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redgate is saving a lot of time for my organisation developers and testers providing easy usage and quick response time for migration. Also the error messages it shows whenever there is any migration error are very descriptive and easy to understand for a new joiner as well. It is overall benefitting me by adding up business value and safe migration of changes keeping all developers and testers at same level of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Except some small issues, there's not much to complain about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used to handle store submissions manually, which was time consuming and error prone. Appcircle automated that entire flow; build, sign, and publish and cutting down our release cycle significantly. The Re-sign Binary feature has also been a huge time saver, allowing us to redistribute the same build with different signing identities without rebuilding from scratch. The publish module in particular removed the need for anyone on the team to have direct access to developer portal credentials, which also improved our security posture.

It lacks out-of-the-box advanced features like built-in debugging and native Git integration, which require installing external packages. Also, the frequent licensing popups in the evaluation version can be a bit distracting during long coding sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sublime Text solves the issue of heavy, slow, and resource-hungry IDEs crashing while handling large projects. It benefits me by opening files instantly, running smoothly with minimal RAM, and letting me search and edit code across multiple files rapidly using shortcuts. This keeps my workflow uninterrupted and highly productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it alot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can automate tasks with different workflows instead of manual setup, maintaining my applications through up-to-date images. It ensures pipelines work smoothly and new changes don't break the master branch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Copado DevOps is that the initial setup and learning curve can feel complex for new users, especially for teams that aren’t already familiar with DevOps practices. Some configurations and more advanced features can also require additional training before you’re able to use them effectively. That said, once you get past the onboarding, the platform works well for managing Salesforce deployments and helps keep the overall deployment process organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Copado DevOps helps tackle the challenge of managing Salesforce deployments, version control, and release coordination across multiple environments. It helps reduce deployment errors, improves collaboration across development teams, and automates repetitive release tasks. For me, that translates into real time savings, more reliable deployments, and a Salesforce development lifecycle that stays better organized and runs more efficiently overall.

When a deployment failed because of a small mistake in my Node.js project, I had to spend some time reading the logs before I understood the actual reason. As a beginner, the messages were sometimes less clear than I expected. Also, after creating multiple practice deployments, the project list became a little crowded.

Earlier, I would show my college projects by sending screenshots or running them on my own laptop. Now I simply share a live link with classmates so they can try the project themselves. As a result, I receive more useful feedback because people interact with the actual application instead of looking at images or recorded videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI could be improved because it looks a bit dull. It has multiple features, but it feels complicated to find them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BBEdit is like a code-cum text editor, and it identifies programming languages really well. I find it very helpful for comparing files and searching through text. The text-wrapping feature is also pretty awesome. Without saving any files, whenever we open bbedit it will open all the unsaved files as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing major springs to mind. I have noticed that some jobs can sit in the queue for a while, which I think is down to worker availability. While it isn’t a huge issue most of the time, it can be a problem if you’re trying to push through an urgent change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Semaphore helps us build complex CI/CD pipelines, which gives us confidence that we’re not deploying broken builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface feels dated compared to more modern CI/CD tools, and navigating plugin configurations can get cluttered as a project's pipeline complexity grows. Managing and updating plugins over time requires ongoing maintenance, since compatibility issues between plugins occasionally surface after updates. Setting up more advanced pipelines still requires a fair amount of Groovy scripting knowledge, which adds a learning curve for team members newer to Jenkins specifically. Self-hosting means taking on infrastructure maintenance responsibility that some newer, managed CI/CD platforms have abstracted away entirely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jenkins has automated build, test, and deployment processes across every project I've used it on, removing the need for manual deployment steps that used to be error-prone and time-consuming. Its flexibility has let me tailor CI/CD pipelines to each project's specific needs rather than working around a more rigid, opinionated tool, which has been valuable across the range of different tech stacks I've worked with over the years.

I remember that once the free plan had offered 10 deployments per day, and now it seems to be reduced. As I have a commonly nonprofit worldwide website, I would appreciate having more deployments available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DeployHQ saves me time by updating files on the server automatically and quickly with NPM build options, so I don't have to do it manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times it feels a bit limited when I’m working on slightly more complex Salesforce tasks. For basic deployments it works fine, but when I tried to manage more detailed changes, I still had to rely on other tools alongside it. It also took me a while at the beginning to understand the overall flow, so a little more guidance or clearer direction would really help new users get started. That said, for simple use cases, it still does the job well. Apart from that, it works well for simple and structured deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my work, managing deployments and tracking changes in Salesforce manually can be time-consuming and error prone. Copado Essestials helps solve this by providing a structured way to manage deployments and keep track of changes across environments. This reduces my manual efforts, saves my time, and helping me to avoid mistakes. In my current work, I use it mainly for handling smaller deployments and tracking changes step by step. Although, it improves my productivity and making my workflow more efficient, organized, and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integrations between buildkite and jira are less seamless, so linking builds to jira tickets with the relevant github pull requests all in a single view might have less first party support and make it more difficult to aggregate and correlate changes with successful builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to run builds completely in our own environment was essential in a highly regulated industry like ours, with the alternatives at the time requiring significantly more workarounds and makeshift solutions, buildkite was able to provide a lot of the customisations that we wanted out of the box.

Furthermore, first party support via the pipeline primitives were a lot more versatile and worked well with transferring a lot of our legacy business processes over without requiring as much engineering effort but with greater reassurances that things will work the way we expect it to.

Overall, it provided us a strong CI/CD platform to continue grow out our cloud presence and being unhindered by the scaling challenges that come with most other CI/CD platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Over time, it's become a "brick," slow and huge. For example, WinMerge is 10 times faster at both loading and comparing documents than UltraCompare. They also have terrible customer service; I reported some major problems I was having with UltraCompare, and after two years, they haven't been resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
