VS is free though.

  Yeah but it's terrible? It's slow, it's bloated, it's loaded with way too many configuration options and yet still doesn't have a lot of config I like from other editors. It has plenty of plugins and still manages to be missing extensions that I find important. Development with Visual Studio just doesn't feel very good compared to other environments these days.

    You mean lack of GUI tooling, no proper debugger, no parallel code debugging, no GPGPU debugging, no hotcode reload, no REPL, no mixed language debugging, no lifecycle management,... yeah those environments rock.

  That sure isn't my understanding if you work for a large enough business. It is very explicitly NOT free. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/license-terms/mlt031819/ https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/license-terms/mlt031819/ This is the rare post where I would be fucking ecstatic to be proven wrong but sadly I believe I'm correct.

    Yes, VS is free for individual devs, and for five users in a small business. Does it matter though? If you're too cheap to pay for developer tools, you're probably a terrible place to work at.
    • faeriechangling 4y ago
      Yeah it's pretty important if you're at such a terrible place to work at, because you can make that place a little less terrible, and because you can use the C# experience you garner to get into a less terrible job.

      Why is it assumed that you're only ever professionally working on code? Do none of you work on side projects, or open source projects?

        Did you read what you replied to? It's free for individual developers, small businesses, and work on open source projects (no matter the size of the organisation). https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/pricing/ https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/pricing/
