Do you think they will drop VS and adopt VS Code as the recommended solution? Since it's locked to Windows, bloated and there's no 64 bits version
- bpicolo 8y agoI'm not sure why he's suggesting VS is bad here. VS is still an insanely good C# environment, core or not
- ickler9 8y agoThere are some extremely opinionated assumptions underlying your question. VS isn't really bloated, given what it's trying to do- and in recent years it's been rock-solid stable. Visual Studio for Mac exists (old Xamarin Studio) and is coming along. And the engineering team has made its point on 64 bit clear that they don't believe it will bring the performance people like to say it will. But more importantly VS and VS Code are two different approaches- IDE vs TextEditor. The vast majority people would say C#, as a compiled language, is best in an IDE. Either way, I'm pretty confident in predicting that there is no way Visual Studio gets "dropped."
- kristianp 8y agoVS isn't going to be dropped any time soon, there are so many features and plugins for it that it would be a massive job to replace it. They have moved more and more features to run into separate child processes to prevent the memory use requirements for the main VS process. VS 2017 uses a lot more memory than 2013 (the previous one I used). My 8GB machine gets slowdowns every now and due to SQL Server getting swapped out.
