Visual Studio Professional 2022

My main use case for Microsoft Visual Studio  is writing code, specifically infrastructure as code to build resources in cloud platforms such as AWS  EC2  instances, Google IAM  resources, and networks within Azure .

A specific example of a project where I used Microsoft Visual Studio  for infrastructure as code is creating Google Cloud  projects. The project can be defined using Terraform , and I can write those scripts within Microsoft Visual Studio and execute them from there as well, using the built-in terminal.

I have also briefly used Microsoft Visual Studio for connecting to databases because there is an add-on for PostgreSQL , which allows me to see my code in one section and then connect to a database using my code in another section. That functionality is quite useful.

Microsoft Visual Studio impacts my organization positively because it is used across the organization to write, commit code, and execute code. It works as an environment for many engineers. The fact that everyone is on the same platform is very useful because it is very easy to teach colleagues how to use it.

Some of the best features Microsoft Visual Studio offers include a user-friendly UI element where you can download different themes, which is great because it allows you to read the code much clearer. There are many add-ons within Microsoft Visual Studio because I believe it is probably the most popular IDE  out there, which leads to many useful add-ons. Additionally, I appreciate the fact that the terminal is built in, so you can execute your code in the same window rather than having to open a separate terminal and execute from that.

The built-in terminal is what I find myself relying on the most day-to-day because I use that every time I use Microsoft Visual Studio. It allows me to commit my code very quickly and also run shell scripts via the terminal that I might be editing as well. I use it heavily; I know some people do not use it as much and prefer a separate terminal, but I find that I am able to work much quicker and more efficiently using the built-in terminal.

The feature that makes Microsoft Visual Studio really stand out compared to other IDEs is the number of add-ons that it has, because with it being probably the most popular IDE , it has a lot of support. There really is not any other IDE you would want to use rather than Microsoft Visual Studio. The fact that it is free as well is pretty impressive.

I think Microsoft Visual Studio is a very good tool and I do not have many improvements to suggest. The only thing I can think of is that I quite regularly get notifications that interrupt my workflow, telling me that Microsoft Visual Studio could be updated. I would appreciate a feature where it can auto-update during times when I am not working so that it can update in the background because sometimes I am writing a script mid-concentration, or maybe I am using the built-in terminal and I am about to execute a command, and then a pop-up appears, derailing my train of thought.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for around five years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is stable.

Microsoft Visual Studio is highly scalable; you can have thousands of engineers using it at the same time and because it is deployed locally on their machine, there would not be any scalability issues. The scalability is immense.

I have never had to reach out for customer support, but because it falls under Microsoft, I presume organizations with a Microsoft support agreement would be able to reach out. I have interacted with Microsoft support in the past when using Azure , and they have always been very helpful, so I would imagine the support would be great.

I have only ever used Microsoft Visual Studio in terms of IDEs in an enterprise environment. The only other IDE I have used is Replit , but that is for my own development. It is a very lightweight, web-based IDE, but there is no need to use a different IDE rather than Microsoft Visual Studio. It has everything you would want in an editor, which is why it is so prevalent in the industry.

From a cost savings perspective, I have definitely noticed improvements because there are some IDEs where you have to pay for a subscription to use it. I understand that the cost can really accumulate, especially if you have a huge engineering team using it. Whereas Microsoft Visual Studio, being free, completely eliminates the costs associated with using a different IDE. Teams can very easily see cost savings of 100 percent because you are going from something which did cost before to something which is free.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing for Microsoft Visual Studio is that the pricing is free, which is perfect.

Before choosing Microsoft Visual Studio, I did not evaluate other options because it was always the option due to it being free and because it is the market leader.

I would advise others looking into using Microsoft Visual Studio to use it because it is free, it is the market leader, and it has a ton of add-ons. There is really no reason not to use it. I gave this product a rating of ten out of ten.

My main use case for Microsoft Visual Studio  is coding and looking at the logs. Whenever I have a log file which is very large, I open it in Microsoft Visual Studio  because it can handle big files and then make it easy to search and scroll.

The best features Microsoft Visual Studio offers include being smooth in coding, allowing the opening of large projects and large files. Microsoft Visual Studio is smooth because it can handle large projects and open large files without hanging, and it still allows large search functionality.

Microsoft Visual Studio is one of the main tools that has impacted my organization positively. We can create custom plugins in Microsoft Visual Studio which are specific to our company and our organization, and use them, which is quite useful, and this has helped our team and projects.

Allowing coding for more formats in Microsoft Visual Studio could be an improvement. It should allow more formats when it comes to APLR coding and what I would like to see improved or added in this area.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for about five years.

I think Microsoft Visual Studio is stable.

Millions of users use Microsoft Visual Studio worldwide, so I think it is quite stable in terms of scalability.

I haven't interacted with customer support at all.

We have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for some time, and I did not previously use a different solution.

The IT team handles the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Microsoft Visual Studio, so I have no idea about that.

I don't have insights into a return on investment, including relevant metrics, like time saved or fewer employees needed.

I don't think I evaluated other options before choosing Microsoft Visual Studio, as I was not part of the team which does that. I have no visibility into that.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Microsoft Visual Studio a nine overall. I give it a nine because it does not support Android. The one thing that would make it a ten for me is related to the formats I mentioned. I think others looking into using Microsoft Visual Studio should use it, as it is a good tool. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

My main use case for Microsoft Visual Studio  is as an IDE  and code editor for my personal, academic, and professional projects.

For a class project recently, I used Microsoft Visual Studio  to pull down the repo, make changes, review the code, and get data as needed, which was a memorable project for me. They also have really nice plugins that integrate very well with the work I'm doing.

The best features Microsoft Visual Studio offers include the shortcut commands that are pretty efficient and easy to pick up, and the baked-in plugins that they have, which are pretty nice.

I find the Copilot feature to be a very nice plugin, and for any plugins, I need any language support, like Java, Go, Gradle, and Maven. Really, any coding language or tool that I need has a plugin, which is very nice.

Microsoft Visual Studio has positively impacted my organization because it's very easy to use, very easy for the people to pick up on, and we can all have the same configuration or personalize it as needed. It has improved productivity for sure, and when someone is onboarded, we know exactly what settings to get them and what plugins to recommend, which makes it easier for them to use the tool in the future.

I don't have any suggestions for improvements for Microsoft Visual Studio; I like the general look. Figuring out how to hide the plugins on the side would be useful, and just having more clear documentation, perhaps, could help.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for about six years, and four years, actually.

Microsoft Visual Studio is stable.

The scalability of Microsoft Visual Studio is good.

I'm not sure about the customer support for Microsoft Visual Studio.

I have used other IDEs before, and I use Microsoft Visual Studio for my personal projects because it's free and it's pretty easy to use, and then for work, I use whatever IDE  is best suited for the team.

I don't see a return on investment with Microsoft Visual Studio.

My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Microsoft Visual Studio is that I was able to expense it through my company, so it wasn't bad, and it was pretty easy to get a license for it. I'm also pretty sure it's free; I'm not sure.

Before choosing Microsoft Visual Studio, I did not evaluate other options.

Microsoft Visual Studio deserves a nine on a scale of one to ten.

I choose a nine for Microsoft Visual Studio because I like the way it works, but some of the UI in other IDEs like IntelliJ I prefer a little more.

My advice for others looking into using Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's a great tool to start with if you're new to IDEs, and I would say to just jump right in.
