Visual Studio Code Reviews & Product Details

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!

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.

Visual Studio Code is my favorite code editor. The most important thing is that it is lightweight and has so many powerful features.Because of that, VS Code does not take much RAM and runs smoothly on any device. It supports multiple programming languages and has a vast range of extensions. Integrations with GitHub help me code efficiently with my colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a vast marketplace of extensions. If you search for some extensions, there can be a few extensions that are identical. So you need to install plugins with care. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

I like it because it is an intuitive IDE. In the past I have used IDEs that are full of options that make the experience very tedious. With VScode I can see a simple view, easy to use and easy to implement.

As for customer support, I have had problems that I have been able to solve easily, and I have relied on a vast community that picks up any error I have found.

This is a tool that I use every day, I have integrated it into all my projects, both in the web and desktop versions and in several operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the performance issue a bit, since when I install some plugins the resource consumption is a bit heavy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about the VS Code is its versatality and ease of use. It supports a wide range of programming languages, has an extensive library of extensions, and offers a smooth, lightweight experience without compromising on powerful features like debugging, "Git integration", etc...,. It makes coding efficient and enjoyable, no matter what the project size is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about the VS Code is that it can become resource-intensive when too many extensions are installed. And sometimes the frequent updates can cause extensions to break or become incompatible, which can be frustrating during the active development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Facile à utiliser, beaucoup d’extensions utiles et fonctionne bien avec Git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Parfois lent avec trop d’extensions et peut consommer beaucoup de mémoire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about Visual Studio Code is how flexible and easy it is to use. You can add extensions for almost any programming language, so it works for all kinds of projects. It's beginner-friendly but still packed with features that advanced developers will appreciate. The built-in Git support and debugging tools make coding and teamwork easier. Plus, it connects well with other tools, helping you get more done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don’t like about Visual Studio Code is that it can get slow when you're working on bigger projects with lots of modules and extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
