JetBrains is and always has been amazing, but I like VS Code mainly because I'm accustomed to Visual Studio which is a huge bloated mess, especially inside a VM. For me it's quite an improvement. I mainly do C# back end stuff, so YMMV. I'm sure C# is a first class language for VS Code.
- lostmsu 6y agoVS 2019 without ReSharper does not feel bloated at all.
- Clubber 6y agoI'm running VS2019 inside a VM on a Mac and it's horrendous, particularly compile times. It does feel normal on a proper Windows box though.
- bouke 6y agoExactly this, VS2019 running inside Parallels Desktop is so slow. I’ve tried optimizing to no avail.
- Analemma_ 6y agoThe Mac version of VS is not actually VS at all, it's rebranded Xamarin Studio. I assume the GP was talking exclusively about "actual" VS when he says it's much better now, which I also agree with.
- gruez 6y agoHe mentioned "in a VM", so I'm guessing he's running the actual visual studio on a windows VM (guest OS), in his mac (host OS).
- lostmsu 6y agoI see no reason for the compile times to be different. Windows is known for slows file system access though.
