Visual Studio Community has been free for years and lets you build anything. VS Pro and Enterprise are for bigger teams/projects with some advanced features but nothing you absolutely need.
Also what's the problem with VS Code? It's great for C#, and basically the mainstream choice for many other stacks like Go and Node already.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Visual Studio Community has been free for years and lets you build anything. As long as you have a small number of total VSC users (not just on a team/project, but in an org; ≤5), and are in a small, luddite, or mostly-tablets org (≤250 PCs), and don’t have much money coming through (≤$1 million revenue.) Otherwise, its only usable for open source work, academic research, and classroom training.
- piaste 5y agoAt a quick googling, the basic VS Pro subscription costs $45/mo. That doesn't seem unreasonable to ask, even from a small company with $1M annual revenue.
- dragonwriter 5y agoSo? The claim I was addressing was about what VS Code Community allows for free, not about the reasonability of the price of the more functionally limited, but less restrictively licensed, VS Code Pro.
- manigandham 5y agoThere is no such thing as VS Code Pro. And Visual Studio pro/enterprise include even more functionality, not less.
