Microsoft released Visual Studio for Linux [1] a little while ago. I find it to be excellent; it gives comparable functionality to Atom but with a lot of the stuff you get with plugins already built in.

- ascagnel_ 9y agoVSCode is a good text editor, but it doesn't compare to the full Visual Studio IDE.
- sleavey 9y agoOut of curiosity, what are the killer features of the full IDE over Code?
- welly 9y agoI'd probably suggest debugging being one of the main killer features. I'm not a VS/VSCode user but I am a Sublime Text and PhpStorm user. You can debug in Sublime Text but I'm not sure you'd want it to be your primary debugger. I'd guess VSCode/VS might be similar. And again taking Sublime Text and PhpStorm as an example, PhpStorm knows your code far, far better than Sublime Text ever would do and this makes navigating your code quicker and easier.
