    "Amazing Performance yet Lite"

    Posted 2020-12-09

    Pros: 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.

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

    Overall: 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.

    "A great tool for software development"

    Posted 2020-11-26

    Pros: 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.

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

    Overall: 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.

    "Advanced editor cum IDE"

    Posted 2020-08-29

    Pros: 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.

    Cons: 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.

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