As someone who uses VS at work primarily for C# API work (donetcore), would you suggest giving VSCode a try?
I ask because I have heard really good things about it from our UI developers but I have not really heard much for or against it when it come to C# development.
- Someone1234 5y agoI've tried to use it for C# work, and while it is usable, you're still getting a subpar experience since not everything Visual Studio can do is offered by the dotnet CLI. I was arguing above for that to change, I wasn't suggesting that is the reality today. VSCode is great for CSS/JS/HTML/etc though, but unfortunately C#/Dotnet still remains VS.
- keneda7 5y agoGood to know. Thank you very much for the response. I'll probably do some more research on VSCode in 6 months or so and see if this has changed at all.
- smackeyacky 5y agoI switched to vscode for .net core development a couple of months ago. It took about a week to work out what cli commands replaced the visual studio gui. Now my main dev box is running debian, I don't miss visual studio at all and am more productive overall.
