Kevin: Hi, this is Kevin. I'm a product owner and I give Microsoft Visual Studios a four out of five, and for more reviews like this, please click below. I use Microsoft Visual Studio with Python Code. Microsoft Visual Studios allows multiple different softwares to run within it, and I use it for Python, which is a programming language that we use for spreadsheets and other analytical tools. What I like about Microsoft Visual Studios is it's a Microsoft product, so it's included with our other Microsoft Suites. It has very similar menus across the top in the ribbon, and it's fairly reliable, and I feel secure using it. What I don't like about Microsoft Visual Studios is because it's a one-size-fits-many, it's not tailored to the software that we use it with currently, so your mileage may vary.
