Have you heard about our lord and savior, vs code? People are choosing it over full blown vs. Also, I haven’t seen many happy xcode devs.

- ratww 6y agoVS Code is winning because it's multiplatform and has great support for lots of languages. I'd say it's the best choice for 95% of programmers. But for writing C# apps in a Windows computer, the old VS was already miles ahead back in 2010. It is a really good product. It had RAD tools, testing, deployment, source control, database migrations, all wrapped in a very snappy and convenient GUI that I still don't think VS Code replaces properly. As much as I love the command line and unix philosophy, there was something about such a complete IDE that made me very productive. All IMO of course. However I strongly believe that VS Code will get better and better with time and be able to fully replace old VS even for this use case in the future.
- iaml 6y agoVS is all good until it slows to a crawl on big projects. Anecdotal evidence I know, but I've seen people on hn switch to code for c# and like it. Also, nowadays at least testing and source control are pretty good in vscode.
