I wonder how some devs claim Visual Studio is good, i don't currently use it, maybe it got better, but just the idea of being a microsoft product makes me feel less of it, I'm just wishing for some clarification here

Well, I have been using different ms ide's since quick C around 88-89 and then visual basic on to visual studio and they have alway been good.

Remember, Microsoft begun by building a basic interpreter back when Bill Gates still was in school.

Also C#'s project manager is the man that once created Turbo pascal and later Delphi o he has got 35+ years if experience building languages and developer tools.

And Turbo pascal was awesome at its time.

I've found that usually it means:
- for coding C#
- often with JetBrains ReSharper
- targeting Windows
- on fast computers where speed is not a priority

In other words, most people who don't like Visual Studio are probably not the target audience. I usually don't do C# anymore so I'm normally somewhere else, usually in a JetBrains IDE of some sort or even VS Code.

Also note: Visual Studio Code is separate from Visual Studio and is a cross platform text editor a la Atom or Sublime. It's quite great for coding Golang and JavaScript/TypeScript.

If you still think Microsoft is bad... You need to take a good hard look at yourself.

@drRoss their ways of spying on you are unethical, but their stuff is awesome most of the time.
But they still can't buipd a browser

I respect all the history facts you stated, but have you checked VS memory comsumption on your pc while using it? Just saying@Voxera

@DjSall edge is a quite fast and well usable browser. Not the best but better than Safari and all those mozilla/Netscape forks that are usually shipped with linux desktops. And the spy stuff... Apple, facebook, Google, they all do it, but if ms does it everyone drives crazy.

visual studio is nice to use. the debugger is one of the best features in it... and intellisense is good too... if i had to choose one thing from microsoft, it would be visual studio(or azure, maybe?)

@elghali yes. But 8gb is enough. And at work I got an I7 with 32Gb and ssd disks ;)

I too had similar thoughts

but after using visual studio code my views changed 😀

Good to know maybe I'll try it out then@dhanvi

Try it. If your cpu is not a potato, it should be fine ;)
(It just too bloat for me)

How about my 3gb memory?i prefer staying on debian with atom for dev@CSaratakij

@elghali if ur cpu is x86_64 and os 64bit, plz upgrade ram.
64bit os env (lib, app) use more ram than 32bit os env.
I once have 64bit os with 2gb ram. it's not that bad though cuz I use many lightweight app (cli, tui) but Even that I still have to keep monitor my ram usage.
Now, I upgrade to 6gb and I never use swap since that day except compile some big app.

@CSaratakij oh no i still have an old laptop and run a 32 bit debian, so yeah you're right I'm considering upgrading to another laptop with better specs and install a 64 bit os
