### "User friendly IDE to start developing Microsoft backed applications"

April 19, 2022

5.0

Pros

Most impactful feature is auto completion or intelliSense. Apart from that, integrations with Microsoft systems is easy. Apart from application development, many more things could be done

Cons

Memory consumption is high and lags a bit on performance depending on machine. Although not all can upgrade machines daily, we might offer optional features which are plug and play for initial development to make IDE light weight

I used Visual Studio for years and liked it very much.

Pros

Microsoft Visual Studio is sure one of the leading IDEs in .NET development. It offers a lot of tools to support the development process, like code suggestions with intelli sense and also database tools. It has a modern and clean user interface.

Cons

The modularized installation is a bit overwhelming.

### "Visual Studio Review"

April 24, 2019

5.0

I have been mostly using this program for student purposes. I study Computer Technologies and I needed a software where to code my programs and one lecturer show me VS when I was for the second year, and since then I do not want to use another program for developing software. I just enjoy the work with VS - it brings me happiness and comfort when I work with it. I pretty recommend it, because it is worth program, it has free versions, which are perfect for juniors, and it is very powerful though, also it is with very pretty and intuitive design and the programs makes you feel comfortable when working with it.

Pros

1\. It is very easy to install. 2. It supports a variety of programming languages you can use in your projects - from desktop Applications, to Web Applications, C based programes and much more. 3. I like how tabs and panels are organized - everything is grouped and you can easily find what you want. 4. There is an entire search engine, which searches all the functionalities of Visual Studio, in case you cannot find something. 5. It works pretty well, even on slow performance PC's. 6. You can build very powerful projects with this program. 7. There are different versions - for the purposes of students, of junior developers, through small bussiness and for the big bussiness. 8. Very Good intellisense. 9. In every latest version of VS, you write fewer code - it becomes easier to do it - just with some combinations, or snippets, or embeded hints. 10. Very pleasurable to write and read code in the editor. 11. You can even capture the resources your program uses. 12. There is a debugger, which is very cool and good working. 13. There is a dark mode - even you can download different themes, which can protect your eyes when working for long hours with the program - they almost reduce the white spaces, and make the colors look greater, with better contrast and with care for your eyes.

Cons

For my purposes I haven't experience any difficulties or problems with the program, in order to have any negative oppinion for the program.

### "Most Complete IDE for Major System Development"

April 8, 2021

5.0

I started developing real software solutions using Microsoft visual studio, Visual Basic to be precise. And I enjoyed the journey as I progressed along. So many handy features and quick tools to build anything you want. I have enjoyed my use of this product no doubt, only the learning curve was tough for me.

Pros

Visual studio is a holistic product. From the quick and easy connection to SQL server to the "intellisence" feature that completes codes for you in your preferred language, Visual studio is the right tool for industrial development.

Cons

The software is very expensive. Though there's a community edition for students and newbies to use for free, the pro version comes at a very high price.

Alternatives considered

[Apache NetBeans](https://www.capterra.com/p/178681/Apache-NetBeans/)

Reason for choosing Microsoft Visual Studio

I loved Microsoft's unique style of flat user interfaces and the array of features I saw before I dabbled into it.

### "Microsoft VIsual Studio, Developer One Pit Shop"

July 13, 2021

5.0

Overall you can develop variety of application while using Microsoft Visual Studio. Easy integration of 3rd parties libraries and easy debugging make it easy for developer to work.

Pros

Debugging: Debugging your code in Microsoft Visual Studio is a piece of cake. Place a break point in your code and then move step by step to identify what's going on in your code. Nuget Package Manger: Provide you the easiest way to include 3rd party libraries or frameworks while keeping a check over package if there is an upgrade available. Multiple Programming Language: Visual Studio provide support for multiple programming languages, therefore you can while applications of different language in the same IDE.

Cons

Initial load time to setup your project is slow which can be sometime annoying High specification system require for smooth operations Sometimes Intellisence can be annoying.

### "Best in the market"

May 22, 2023

4.0

Pros

I used Microsoft Visual Studio for 6 months every single day for an application backend project. In my opinion, is one of the most versatile tools on the market because it really eased the development of my application. Let's start with the essentials. First, The standard tools, such as Git and DevOps, work fine. Second, the debugging tool is everything you can ask for and there is plenty of information in online forums about doubts, issues and bugs that might appear. Third, the user is able to create a wide set of projects in different coding languages (C#,Python, VB.Net). And finally, in my personal opinion, the most amazing tool embedded in Visual Studio was the AI model which writes code for you. It saves you a lot of time and helps you to improve your coding practices.

Cons

Updating Visual Studio libraries became part of my daily routine due to compatibility issues. I had to be constantly updating everything in order to avoid bugs from appearing in my project. Also, be aware that Visual Studio is a powerful tool and therefore you need time to master it. I advise you to ask someone with experience to support you if you want to get into the real deal. Once you master it, believe me you will have a good time

Visual Studio has allowed me to develop programs in the easiest and most understandable way, in a timely manner.

Pros

It is a software that with all its functionalities allows me to do a great job, in a timely manner, and above all, it activates all my capabilities.

Cons

The cost is a bit high, but in relation to everything it offers you, it's not bad, but I think it can be more affordable.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Visual Studio

Because it is more interactive.

### "Best Editor so Far!"

May 10, 2023

5.0

I'm use VS Code on a daily basis and Its user-friendly interface, cross-platform support, extensibility, and debugging capabilities are some of the qualities that make it a popular choice among developers.

Pros

The best part is it is compatible with all the major platforms be it Windows or macOS or Linux. Secondly it has git integration with it which allows developers to perform git operations within the editor.

Cons

It consumes significant amount of memory while working with large codebases. Although VS Code is typically known for its fast and responsive performance, some users may experience slow-downs or increased resource usage when running it concurrently with other applications, which could cause their computer to operate sluggishly.

### "Microsoft Visual Studio - A more advanced way of coding but be advised..."

May 2, 2024

4.0

I must say Visual Studio is great for creating GUI applications or micro-applications that do not need a lot of coding if you are on low-level, Visual Studio is great for C++ and C# (.NET), but for other programming languages there are better alternatives.

Pros

The IDE is pretty clean, as it does its job pretty well. The features such as autocompletion of code and code suggesions are very welcome.

Cons

Sluggish, slow sometimes, takes a lot of memory and space onto your harddrive. The ease of use is more on the intermediate/advanced side.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Visual Studio

Mainly because of the project management and the great support on C++ and C# and some requirements to create Windows applications much easier than with other IDE environments.

### "Best software for Developers "

February 7, 2019

5.0

Visual Studio is considered as Microsoft’s contribution to the open source world and they have once again delivered exactly what their customers want. I am someone who isn’t an expert in coding and I had used a couple of different IDEs previously. The process of using a new IDE is all too similar. In the beginning, you’re very uncomfortable not knowing what function is placed where in the software and in the next few days, you start to get a hang of it but my experience with the visual studio was completely different. I was expecting the same confusion as I started using it but everything in the software was so user-friendly. I immediately felt like as if I had used this software before and I knew where all the basic functionalities were.

Pros

Microsoft visual studio is developing software which is one of the most fully featured IDE right now in the market. It is preferred by developers from all over the world and has the ability to create all kinds of computer programs, websites and mobile apps. Name: Visual Studio Developers: Microsoft Written in: C++ & C# Operating System: Windows 7 or later Type: Integrated Development Environment License: Freemium It is a fantastic IDE that simplifies the work of the developer and it helps save a lot of time. It is greatly appreciated for the performance of its Debugging and IntelliSense tool. There are a lot of extensions available that improve the features of visual studio.

Cons

The code compilation error messages are sometimes very misleading that leaves the developer unsure of what the exact issue is. The errors are shown before and after the lines which can cost a lot of time and attention of the developer. Another con would be how expensive the software is compared to its competitors who provide similar services for a way lower price.

### "Best Tool for Software Development, I have ever Seen !!"

June 3, 2021

5.0

I have used Microsoft Visual Studio for more than 6 years, and I am still using this Software Every day at my office for almost 9 to 10 hours. There are almost 500 developers are in my company, who are using Visual Studio in their daily routine. I have developed a number of software and utilities with it. Moreover, I have worked on more than one language in Visual Studio, such as Java, Python, and C#. But I haven't faced any difficulties yet. I would recommend each and every developer that, they must have to use Visual Studio for their Programming. Nowadays the Recent Version of the Visual Studio is very quick and have a number of tools that helps us to give the intelligent suggestion during the Programming.

Pros

First of all the IDE of Visual Studio is very good, and It's very simple, So it's not difficult for new users to do coding on it. Another thing is that you can do programming with almost any kind of Programming Languages, Such as Java, Python, C++, C#, and Others. Moreover, there is a number of packages available for download in the visual studio Package manager. On the Otherside, Microsoft Visual Studio can be integrated with the TFS easily and you can easily manage your code on the server.

Cons

I have found only one problem, while I am using Visual Studio, and the Problem is, It becomes sometimes not responding when you are going to build the bigger project or do some operations on the bigger Projects or maybe when you load the heavy Project first time after the windows startup. I haven't found any other Problems with the Visual studio ;-)

### "I use Visual Studio to teach programming to beginners "

October 3, 2019

4.0

I have been using Visual Studio for close to 10 years. It is the best IDE for working with Microsoft languages. It is also very robust and beyond educational environment, I have also used it in a professional setting as a software engineer. In my opinion this program is well suited for both use cases (education and workplace). While there are some significant issues with the Mac version, overall just making the IDE cross-platform is a wonderful improvement because it allows my mac students to use it outside lab sessions. Overall I am happy with this product and will continue using it in the future.

Pros

I am currently using VS 2019 as an instructional tool at a university to teach programming to beginners. These are the pros: \* Cross platform versions for PC and Mac users \* Many compiled languages to choose from (I use C#); I feel compiled language is easier to learn because of the immediate feedback that you see in the UI \* Having many features within one IDE is good for beginners as students can gradually move from console apps to more advanced programs as they acquire more skills, but without having to learn a new IDE

Cons

During instructional lab sessions I have encountered a few issues, primarily with the Mac version of Visual Studio, and the following are the most significant cons so far: \* From a beginner perspective the installation process can be challenging because there are many options to choose from (some of the students worked through these independently through trial and error). \* The Mac version of VS2019 does not have live wrap -- this is a very basic feature and should be added \* For some console solutions when opened from a zip file and executed on a Mac, VS executes the code by default in a custom command line window (not in mac terminal). User cannot type in this window which prevents console input. To resolve this issue students created a new solution and copy pasted the code into the new solution.

### "Visual Studio IDE - The Beast!"

October 10, 2018

5.0

I have been using Visual Studio for the last 10 years. Having worked with other code editors and other languages including obj C, Swift and java for a bit, I can clearly see why VS is pricey because of the amazing IDE that microsoft has built and maintained over the years. It's definitely a complex tool to master and even after using it daily for the past 10 years all the way from vs 2005 to vs 2017, I would say there are some areas in the IDE that I have barely scratched the surface. Its takes years of practice and working with a wide array of project types to really explore the different sections and features the IDE has to offer. Microsoft now offers VS code(32 and 64 bit versions) which can be downloaded for free.

Pros

\- Ease of use - Multi language support - Full stack development capabilities - Integrates with databases easily - Can create a vast array of projects - WCF - Windows Services - Web API - MVC - .net core - Remoting - Class libraries - Database projects - Single Page Apps - Angular Apps - WPF to name a few - Source control plugin integration (GIT, Subversion using AnkSVN, TFS) - Plugin / Extension support. Example: Resharper, OzCode, NCrunch - Performance - Stability

Cons

\- Enterprise Licensing costs (vs Professional) - MSDN licensing and individual license costs can be a non starter for some technology companies - Project backward compatibility support in olders versions. Upward migration was a non reversible action which would render the project incompatible with the older version. - Memory / CPU consumption sometimes can be on the high side.

### "Visual Studio Review "

January 28, 2018

5.0

The benefits of using Visual Studio is the ROI the Return of Investment; Our company relies on Visual Studio for developing, maintaining, and updating our product. It is the source of the growth of our company.

Pros

As a javascript developer, i use always use Visual Studio to develop webpages using c# coding. One of the features i like of Visual Studio is the ability to integrate SourceTree, MySQL, and other third part software within Visual Studio to make all scripts and databases in sync. Secondly, Visual Studio has guidelines to direct you what parameters to use when writing a c# code, it has the basic fundamentals of java variables that will guide me through my coding skills. Third, is when errors occur in my code, Visual Studio provides a more detail information about the error and recommends to insert a specific variable. Fourth, Although my company pays for Visual Studio, the ROI we get from using Visual Studio is just exceptional we are able to generate more revenue using Visual Studio.

Cons

One of the downside of Visual Studio is the installation process, it does take a while good 1-2 hrs to install based on the pc performance, Visual Studio does rely on some existing software to be installed before installing Visual Studio such as Microsoft .NET framework, and MS Visual Studio C ++ both of these products have many versions I just hope the Visual Studio Installer has those software within the package rather that going to Microsoft.com and installing them individually.

Pros

Ho gradito molto l'integrazione delle librerie dei linguaggi di compilazione per permettere lo sviluppo di codice in modo rapido ed efficace

### "Visual Studio - A clever, free and intuitive IDE ideal for C# use"

May 9, 2020

4.0

Overall, my experience with Visual Studio has been very good. It integrates fantastically with my source control solution and it is free as I am using the Community version, which is packed with enough features for my needs. For small to medium size projects, it's hard to go wrong with Visual Studio, particularly the Community edition.

Pros

What I like most about using Visual Studio is its Intellisense feature, as well as its ease of using shortcuts. Firstly, the Intellisense feature predicts what will follow any given word or line of text in your code, thus making development a lot quicker and easier. Secondly, it is fairly easy to create custom keyboard shortcuts for different uses (such as commenting and uncommenting code, mass renaming of variables and objects in scripts). It is also fast to compile and easy to debug via intuitive breakpoints - you can click on any area of your code to lay a breakpoint, making debugging easier.

Cons

What I like least about this software is its interface. While there could potentially be ways of customising the interface more to your liking, I focus on writing code while using it, not customising my interface. As such, the UI can feel a bit clunky and cramped when focusing on exclusively writing scripts, but this may be able to me mitigated given enough time setting up preferences. Also, I dislike the file size and download time of the installation and executable - for an IDE, it takes up a few gigabytes of space on the drive and takes a long time to download.

### "MS Visual Studio is the ideal, easy-to-use IDE with lightning-fast execution"

December 15, 2022

4.0

In general, MS Visual Studio still remains a wonderful IDE for beginners or professionals thanks to its documentation and a larger community to help users.

Pros

Debugging errors in the application, easy to find a function from an instantiated object of any form especially, if you have a large application of millions of codes. It's easy to use.

Cons

The application version system is not integrated during the installation, if there is a sudden power cut in a PC that does not keep the energy, especially when working on a form or function, there is no way to recover this function.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Visual Studio

Easy to use, good price, possibility to use a free version, community and regular update of the documentation and the IDE.

### "The gold standard development environments."

July 7, 2022

5.0

I have used VS for several years now, and each new iteration is more useful and impressive than the one before it. Even the free community version of the IDE is able to provide all the tools any developer may need, regardless of their skill level.

Pros

I first started using Visual Studio during my freshman year of college, and it has been the most important development tool in my arsenal ever since. The level of overall quality cannot be ignored; Everything from the beautiful and intuitive interface, to the plethora of convenient shortcuts and tools are enough to please any developer.

Cons

The installer for the program can be bulky and offers tons of bloat that is tedious to sift through. This is the tradeoff for having so many features, however.

### "A grate ide for almost everything"

September 11, 2019

5.0

It is quite simple to use, you enter to visual studio web page select the option that you want, if you need a full free version go to community version, if you need more support or a custom tool (I real think the community is excellent) you can buy a license which include more tools for you. The big thing here is, visual studio supports a lot of languages, programming languages, also you can get (for free) different versions of the ide if you need some retro compatibility whit tools or old projects. In the user interfaces there is no much to say, is clean and easy to understand, you can check the hotkeys, if you need remove some buttons from toolbar or change hotkeys for others you can do it on tools/options and customize. Finally, the best of visual studio is the really big uses that you can give it, for example, use the .net core for create a web page, if you don’t like .net core you can also use angular; looking for a little help making games on unity, you can use c# for the logic and debug it with visual studio or if all of this is much for you and you only want a simple desktop program you of course can do it (or mobile, remember xamarin if you are interested on it).

Pros

As a generic IDE for many languages and purpose, i really think that the oportunities for the tool are huge. You really can do almost everything that you propuse. It one of the IDEs with the best customization ever, can select the clasic mode, the dark theme, persolize your hotkeys only to say some. You can get a huge amount of tools by nuget, and configure your projects whit many git tools.

Cons

Perhaps the user interface between mac and windows version can be a little tricky if you work with both.

### "Finest IDE for managing all your projects"

December 24, 2022

5.0

Overall I have a good programming experience with visual studio, I invested many hours while learning and getting used to it's interface but now it saves a lot of time and manages all my projects very systematically. I use the extension "code runner" which make things more easy. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Pros

while debugging, as you drag your cursor on a variable, it instantly displays all the information about it. The keyboard shortcuts are so useful, I can even set up new shortcuts as per my need which makes working so productive on visual studio. The whole library of shortcuts is available to learn. It is an IDE so i can directly execute the program in the visual studio. It supports around 36 programming languages, so when i work with multiple languages, I just create 4-5 different tabs and work on each tab flawlessly. While editing, the multiple cursor feature is so helpful. I don't have to write the syntax everytime, as i can create a custom keyword for the syntax of particular language.

Cons

This software may be a way too difficult for beginners to learn, as it is complicated. For my system, It launches very slow. System gets heated up often times even on running smaller codes, reason maybe the memory management. Also it crashed twice on my system while execution of the program.

### "Microsoft Visual Studio..."

December 16, 2021

5.0

I love Microsoft Visual studio for its powerful engine, across the operating systems development capabilities, easy support and the quite affordable licensing fee.

Pros

Microsoft Visual Studio is a very convenient and powerful application development software. You can easily create or edit and test a software using it. You can develop applications for all major ooerating systems like Windows, Linux, Android, IOS, etc with it. It supports all basic and advanced programming languages like C, C++, Python, JavaScript, PHP, etc. MS Visual Studio hosts very useful code completion and a powerful auto-suggest feature aling with wide variety of extentions. It comes with plenty of pre-built useful starter projects so you get started without wasting time on setting up basics. It offers a free trial of the paid version along with a completely free version which is very useful for students and freelancers. The subscription price for the paid version is also quite affordable. Its vast and active online community makes getting support easy.

Cons

As far as I have used Microsoft Visual Studio, it has no big problems, except that Nuget packaes sometimes encounter problems. Also the system becomes quite dull and slow when running it, which is obvious due to its huge size.

### "I have been working with VS from past 8years and i enjoy playing with this software&its integrations"

May 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

I have used this software from version VS 2010 to up to date VS2017. Its very handy to work with. It offers a lot of features and functionalities that are really easy to understand. It offers a lot of integrations whether it is Resharper or any coverage tool or your website azure deployment. For me learning azure deployment was way too easy as it is just a matter of 2-3steps alone. There are easy steps to find some matching texts that too can be filtered with the type of file you want to search in. The solution explorer offers simple shortcuts to rename a file or just move a file from one location to another. The find and replace functionality that too can be customized whether you want to match case or not. The software's integration with Nunit code coverage helped me a lot in gaining confidence in the quality of my tests as while coding I can see the coverage of the lines. The tortoise git integration is something that is really helpful. You can easily see your commit history and differences. I personally like this software very much. Try it. It has a lot to discover.

Cons

The only problem that I see is the heaviness of the software as sometimes it hangs my system and you need to have at least 16gb ram to work greatly with this software. VS2017 is the latest I have worked on and although it has great features but it is a very heavy software and with heavy extensions it become slow.
