What do you like best about Visual Studio Code?

This is like the best IDE out there that supports multiple coding languages. It's so easy to integrate different coding languages using their extensions. This is the only Code Editor I use on a daily basis for all my coding needs. What's even better is that I can use Github Co Pilot which is an AI Powered assistant that helps me code! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Studio Code?

It can get laggy at times, especially when working with large blocks of code. It's not that major but it is surely noticeable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Studio Code solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Since we develop various software stacks which use different coding languages, we use Visual Studio as it supports multiple languages.

- It speeds up our development process solely thanks to the intellisense feature (basically, auto-fill and auto-recommend) and Co-Pilot integration.

- It can be easily be linked with our Github accounts which helps us with Version Control.

- It offers multiple extensions in its extension stores which serve various purposes from code templates to AI-Powered coding, which actually accelerates the overall development progress.

- It allows us to modify the theme of the IDE which permits each of my co-worker to personalize it to their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visual Studio?

I like visual studio as a software developer. Specially Git and Plugins section.

They provide different git section and show file changes. I am using so many IDE's but Git section is amazing and user friendly in visual studio. If they can do so some changes in UI then it looks more attractive.

For plugins section important thing is that you just install any plugin and enjoy their functionality for any development language. Every language have different plugin as per developer need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Studio?

1. Complex to change theme, Font, Style. I think they can give one section in left or right side and provide all important settings on that so user can easily navigate and change any setting easily currently its to complex.

2. They can provide option to add git account from left side git section so user can easily add account.

3. In git section they can provide more options icons like cherrt pick or create patches. So as per developer its easy and easly use that functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. They can improve Setting section and provide main settings like font, color, theme changes section in home screen.

2. They can improve git support and update GUI with new features like Git Accounts, Cherry Pick Icon, Patch Icon etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Visual Studio Code?

Visual Studio Code is, first and foremost, free. That is a major advantage over the alternatives. At its base, it's a very simple text editor, but when applied the right plugins, it can become a powerful development environment. I am using VSCode for both Javascript/Typescript development and for Python development. The base editor is simple to use and understand and very lightweight.

It is based on Electron, runs on all major operating systems, and supports a web-only version. Personally, I am using VSCode on Mac with Apple Silicon and the performance is quite nice, given that it's all Electron below. I specifically enjoy the extensibility and even for very basic needs I am using many plugins (Git, Docker,JS Debugger, etc). A main advantage in my opinion is the launch speed: from click to full-up it takes 8 seconds on my machine, which might seem like a long time, but compared to other systems it is much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Studio Code?

Having worked with other IDEs, I am not keen on the default key bindings and extension shortcuts. I also feel the learning curve for VSCode is steeper than other tools.

In addition, and most importantly, I do not feel there is enough control by Microsoft on the extensions published in the extension repository and there have been some previous cases where malicious extensions have been found. But if you bear that in mind and keep a careful flow, you should be fine.

A more important downside, in my opinion, is the need to "build your own suite" where you need to manually pick and choose from hundreds of available plug-ins, which can be confusing and time-consuming. I usually prefer to have someone provide me with a pull "python suite" that has everything I need in one go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Studio Code solving and how is that benefiting you?

Visual Studio Code allows us a unified development environment across the organization, while still allowing individual users to customise and add preferred plugins. This goes from the main development branches (Javascript, Python, HTML) to less common but still important DevOps solutions (shell scripts, helm files, etc.). Being able to integrate AI based code completion and generation tools is also a major advantage. In addition, some plugins such as Docker, Git Blame, Q, have proven to be very useful to our development and devops work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visual Studio?

I'm a software dev and VSCode has become an indispensable part of my workflow. What I like most? everything. Its ability to handle large projects with countless files while maintaining exceptional performance. The editor remains responsive, even when working on monolith projects with complex dependencies or giant codebases. The mini-map is nice, so if you have been a fan of Sublime then you won't be lost. Also, with the seamless integration of keyboard shortcuts, you can become incredibly efficient by never lifting fingers from your keyboard.

But truly, what I like most about VSCode is that there seems to be an extension for everything, you can customize your environment tailored to your every need. Extensions like GitLens make version control straightforward by providing visual indicators for changes, commit history, and author insights. AI tools, such as Copilot, take productivity to another level by suggesting code snippets and solutions as you type, or AmazonQ help integrate cloud-specific solutions, and code generators. But also, there is a small extension for any productivity improvement you can imagine, few things I have installed: a color picker while coding CSS, a live preview for frontend projects, batch file renames, char count, and also several code snippets and boilerplate generators for HTML, Ruby, Python, etc. I have seach and found even a SUM extension for selected numbers on a file...

Finally, one thing I really like about VSCode is how it works with modern frameworks and technologies. It provides excellent support for building apps with Flutter, React, and Ionic, among many others. From setting up a project to debugging and testing, I can control everything directly from the editor. Whether it’s running a Flutter emulator, managing a React build process, or deploying an Ionic app, VSCode handles it all seamlessly.

Its integrated a terminal, debugger, and task runner.

Summary, it is a powerhouse for developers, and you will enjoy working on your products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Studio?

I've been testing latetly the AI Copilot extensions and all Copilot recent releases for VSCode. I would had loved if it was fully integrated with the IDE, currently only supports the file you have openned, Copilot will give you great code completitions suggestions, but it lacks context on your entire openned project. At this point developers are moving towars an AI asisted development environment, so IDEs such as Cursor and Windsurf that are actually based on VSCode are having such a great adoption and a huge advantage than VSCode Today. Although I think VSCode is moving to the right direction, I think it is moving slowly considering Copilot is also from Microsoft.

I love how you can extend VSCode and pretty much customize it for your preferable development environment, it is a manual that by now it should have been part of a sign up onBoarding wizard, the IDE asking you what tech stack you use and/or pick it automatically from your openned project and automatically install the extensions you need. It lacks that level of sofisticated recommendation. And, if you check the actual Recommended Extensions most cases are not even close to what we need on a project. Definitely I do not like how the actual Extensions recommendations works.

One other thing I don't like much is how complex configurations are required for native mobile developmebt, I would still recommend Xcode and Android Studio for native Swift and Kotlin. Example, for native development you don't have yet a way to build the apps and run infrom on the simulator directly from VSCode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

It simplifies development, version control and debugging. With built-in tools and extensions like GitLens and Copilot it boosts productivity and allows writing code and deploying apps—in one single integrated environment.

We use it for app development projects such as Backend projects with Ruby on Rails, NodeJS, or PHP as well as Frontend with ReactJs, Vue, Angular, and mobile projects such as Flutter or React Native projects, using the extensions for each of those tech stack helps me and our developers to perform better.
