    Amazing Performance yet Lite

    Date: Dec 09 2020

    Summary: As a developer, I loved this software, not only it is good for mobile development, it supports multiple programming languages. I am using it for a long time now, and haven't thought of changing it as it provides frequent support and nearly supports anything related to programming and development. If you want a fast and light platform for your work this is for you.

    Positive: I am a mobile developer and used to work on android studio for development but android studio used to be very harsh to my system. Then I switched to visual studio code, it was lite yet gave the same performance as android studio. User-friendly interface, a huge set of plug-ins, color coding, autocompletion these featured are so helpful for heavy coding and were all present in visual studio code.

    Negative: I faced no cons in this software, easy to install and use.

    A great tool, but could be better

    Date: Aug 08 2021

    A great tool for software development

    Date: Nov 26 2020

    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.

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

    Advanced editor cum IDE

    Date: Aug 29 2020

    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.

    Great Free IDE but lacks some GIT features

    Date: Jul 18 2022

    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.
