Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE
Being a part of a software engineering team we use this tool in order to maintain and create software needed by the business. It allows our team to have access to a suite of tools required to create the software, test the software, protect software source control, and deploy the software out to many environments for use by our customers.
Pros
- Build Web and Cloud applications for free.
- Large selection of development languages, i.e. Visual Basic, C#, PHP, Objective-C, JavaScript and Visual C++.
Cons
- Heavyweight tool that can feel overwhelming or confusing when first using it.
- Learning curve of the IDE can be daunting for beginning programmers.
- Quicker code turnaround and reviewing with GIT integration.
- Forces our coding standards so we can make sure the team is similar styles.
Visual Studio Code is a very nice lightweight IDE (if you can call it that), that can be used at types of business (small to large). However, since you have to trust the sources of your plugins it can be a little more nerve-wracking at larger businesses to use this tool. Also, out of the box, compared to Visual Studio IDE you don't have a lot of those tools available. You really have to go add everything you need and or want to VS Code to get it into a place where you can use it for business needs. Visual Studio IDE out of the box has a better initial setup and more integrations into cloud, web, and desktop use that probably meets more business needs right away with less fuss and setup.
