If you do GUI work, you pretty much have to use VS. :-/
- rafaelvasco 5y agoVS used to be heavy and bloated. But that was a long time ago. I use VS since 2010 version. It improved by leaps and bounds since then. New 2022 version is almost as fast as VSCode, if you have a good PC.
- DeathArrow 5y agoIntellisense is not that good. Intellicode is missing. Managing nugget packages is not so well integrated. It's harder to debug and investigate memory leaks. I can't see code coverage in the editor or run tests with right click straight from the method I want to test. It's usable for sure but the development it's not as fast as in Visual Studio. I still use VS Code if I want to modify some files like XML, json, yaml, and I don't want to fire another instance of Visual Studio for that.
- babypuncher 5y agoMicrosoft's official C#/.NET extensions for VS Code use OmniSharp to provide IntelliSense, so I think they are becoming a lot more friendly on that front. As others have already pointed out, OmniSharp is "good enough", but what's built into Visual Studio is still a lot better.
