Visual Studio Code Reviews

Summary: I use both IntelliJ and VS Code at the same time. Sometimes, i have to switch to IntelliJ when it comes to merge conflicts. But when i need more memory to perform other memory consuming operations, i always use VSCODE as it is much lighter.

Positive: Best free IDE that i have used so far. It is very light weight in terms of memory utilisation and works smooth on my Mac Book PRO. I really like the window splitting feature and renaming my terminal tabs. I can run my different environments in different named tabs.

Negative: Although the features are great, one feature that i really miss out on this IDE is the use of GIT. E.g. if it does not support a GUI to resolve merge conflicts. It is handy for updating the repo but not that flexible for resolving conflicts.

Summary: A huge step-up for anyone who codes for fun/as a hobby. The IDE is easy to setup and start using. Even beginners can use it straight out of the box with minimal reading.

Positive: Fantastic UI and UX. Low installation requirement. I especially like the theme selection and also the ability to run multiple codes, workbooks and terminals at the same time.

Negative: Difficult to get used to when compared to Jupyter notebook.

Summary: As a product VS Code is the best IDE, I have ever used. I was very impressed by the all that features it offers and all those extensions you can include and can customize your IDE according to you.

Positive: I am using this product for 2 years now and I cannot think of switching to any other IDE for software development. It is such a great tool. You have various extensions available to use and almost every file extension is supported to work with, You can change and set themes, change icon style, autosave, etc are some of the cool features of visual studio code.

Negative: After using it for almost 2 years now I am not able to find any cons but there is always room for improvement.

Summary: Overall Visual Studio Code is a really good text editor and scripting tool which can be used for frontend development especially for beginners.

Positive: Visual Studio Code is more than a text editor and can be doubled as a development tool. It has a lot of features and integrations to be used as a dedicated IDE for Javascript and similar languages. It is quite lightweight and available free of cost.

Negative: It misses out on useful IDE features like autocomplete to be considered as an all purpose development IDE.

Interface needs to be simplified and made modular - a lot of icons make little sense to newcomers.

Summary: Developers have come to love Visual Studio Code, a feature-rich and extremely adaptable code editor. It is the best option for a variety of development jobs due to its rich extension ecosystem, vast language support, and cross-platform compatibility.

Positive: Linux, macOS, and Windows are among the operating systems that Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is compatible with. Its cross-platform compatibility makes it a flexible option for developers working in various contexts.

Negative: VS Code could be thought to be less efficient for really big projects when compared to more complex IDEs. Nevertheless, the size and complexity of any project will determine this.

Summary: Overall, Visual Studio Code is one of the most reliable and feature rich code editor. It has large community and support all the major languages.

Positive: 1. It has an excellent set of tools for debugging and testing the code.
2. It can be customized heavily from the settings or from the configuration files.
3. Furthermore, it has a lot of extensions available on the extension store to increase the features and functionality of the code editor.
4. It supports all the major programming languages and frameworks.
5. It is extremely light on the system.

Negative: It does not have dedicated build tools available on the options and to use that the user has to use command in the terminal.

Summary: Simply put, I love this tool. The community extensions are extremely nice and well organized. The user interface aesthetic does not bother my eyes unlike many other similar applications and its inbuilt features while tough to get a grasp on at first are very much worth adjusting to, the benefits for this compared to less powerful editors is just too great.

Positive: Excellent tool for coding, this is my go-to tool for coding and has been since early 2020. The file organization, ability to open folders, community extensions for a variety of file types and project types just makes this an extremely well made and useful tool. I have used this tool on a near daily basis for over two years at this point and I have very little issues with it that have only been further reduced as I further understand the features and UI layout of the software.

I especially love the user interface aesthetic, in early 2020 I suffered from a retinal detachment which made my vision much more sensitive to light and certain colors among other things. The user interface and color scheme of the tool is excellent and greatly helps me with eye strain when I am coding.

Negative: I have very little complaints about the tool. My only major gripe in comparison to say other text editors is the ability to find certain features may be difficult for new users, with this said adjusting to the layout is very much worth it.
