Visual Studio Code Reviews & Product Details

I find Visual Studio Code to be an exceptionally versatile and robust source code editor that caters to a wide array of development needs. Its strengths are numerous, but I particularly appreciate the following aspects:

- Its extensive marketplace for extensions is a standout feature. The sheer volume and quality of available extensions allow me to tailor the environment precisely to my project requirements, whether I'm working with JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, or even more niche languages. This level of customization significantly enhances productivity.

- The IntelliSense (code completion, parameter info, quick info, and member lists) is top-tier. For the languages it supports (either natively or through extensions), the autocompletion is highly accurate and context-aware

- The built-in Git integration is incredibly well-implemented.

- Despite its rich feature set, VS Code maintains good performance and a relatively lightweight footprint compared to traditional IDEs. It launches quickly and remains responsive, even when handling large projects or multiple workspaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While VS Code is an outstanding tool, it's not without areas for potential improvement. The sheer number of extensions, while a core strength, can sometimes lead to a bit of "extension fatigue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vscode provides one of the best interfaces to use for writing code , from the different themes, to the marketplace where I can get more tools to help me become more productive in my work. Another perk is that it supports multiple programming languages and with the use of tools in the marketplace makes the experience 10x better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that makes me dislike VS Code is that it does not work as an IDE, so you need a custom setup for each programming language you use. If it came by default with a setup for the most popular languages, python, C, C++, Rust, Javasript, etc it would really be hands-down the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how I can customize the look of VS Code to match my mood, tweak the keyboard shortcuts to speed things up, and explore tons of extensions that add real value.

I use GitHub Copilot very much that suggests code as I type, making both learning and writing code much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navigating Large Codebases Can Be Challenging

When I work on big projects in VS Code, it can be a bit tricky to find where a variable or method is used. The "Go to Definition" feature doesn’t always work perfectly, so I can’t always jump straight to the code I need. It slows things down, especially when I'm trying to understand or fix something quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like about visual studio code is that it is one of the best code editors available in the market and have almost every feature that a programmer need and have a variety of themes available and font can also be changed. It has a lot of features, has variety of available extensions which are available for every programming language and it is not limited to that even it has code runner extension too which help you run your code in the software itself, even there is terminal provided where you can see the result of your code.

The software is a type of package in itself to write ,edit, format ,design code and do programming ,even it is very easy to use as a beginner.

Even the software option to connect it with github .

This is like the best IDE out there that supports multiple coding languages. It's so easy to integrate different coding languages using their extensions. This is the only Code Editor I use on a daily basis for all my coding needs. What's even better is that I can use Github Co Pilot which is an AI Powered assistant that helps me code!
