As a .NET dev I get questioned about using VS Code in favor of full-blown VS. My arguments are that it is faster, lightweight and overall more user-friendly.

I use it exclusively, for all types of files and projects (JSON, SQL, Angular projects, .NET Core, ...)

Do you guys like using VS Code as well? What do you use it for?

Also, if you ever want to annoy a colleague, try associating all file extensions with Visual Studio and watch him go bonkers.

I use if for typescript but so far the full VS + resharper offer more than VS code does, especially on refactoring.

VS code gets more and more but is still a bit behind.

And the project uses some extensions that are not available to VScode.

JS and Apex, mostly. Switched from dodgy copies of Sublime.

I used it for laying out html, css, and js, also .net core

Still need visual studio for regular .net tho

@Voxera ditto for me, Resharper is the only reason to stick to VS. That and legacy .NET projects.

I realy like VS. I never tried vs code and i dont think im going to try it soon because im scared of transfering my apps to new IDE.

I first started out with VS, and tried vscode when I switched to Linux.

I'd say the VS debugger is way better and easier to use. Although omnisharp usually is good enough.

VSCode is awesome.

VSCode works, it's modern, it's fast, it doesn't add thousand of misterious crap all across the system, it doesn't piss me off in general with a complicated UI and non-sense keyboard shortcuts, works on linux, works with java, it's great with .netcore and typescript, it can be customised way better than VS, it's portable in seconds on every platforms with its own config and extensions.

about the debuggers... on frontend there's no match, VSCode is the clear winner under every aspect. in .net-land no, VS is great, simple config, very powerful, actually better, nothing you can achieve at the moment in VSCode (same is true for java and big java ides)

but we hardly get to the point where we have to debug anyway.
