WTF are you on about. Games development for PS5/Xbox and Switch only works on Windows, that's where the entire toolchain for these platforms is. It's not just windows apps. I love how so many people on HN like to pretend that Visual Studio isn't the most powerful IDE around, it's a powerhouse for developers and you'd need to pry it out of my cold dead hands.
- whalesalad 3y agoI don't know a single dev who enjoys using Visual Studio. It's a necessary evil. Let's be real here.
- gambiting 3y agoDo you actually know any devs who use Visual Studio? I work in a studio of hundreds of people using VS, been here for nearly a decade, and I'm yet to find someone who thinks VS is anything other than great. Yes it has its issues, like any dev tool, but otherwise it's probably the best piece of software to have come out of Microsoft, as a C++ developer I cannot imagine using anything else, no other IDE comes anywhere near in terms of features and usability.
