I love #VisualStudio.
See how visual studio really makes easy to analyze difference between two version of file. 😘😘

You know... Every IDE does that.
And most other IDEs are even open source, not limited to windows development and easily extendable by plugins... 😒

Meh, Git Diff in Atom does the same thing.

Git diff in console ftw

Beyond Compare is good for me.

@Anaeijon you mean like Visual Studio Code?

@kwilliams 😂
Does anyone use this?

@Anaeijon I use it for debugging PHP (when I'm forced to work on PHP) and when I want to be nosy and browse World of Warcraft add-on source files.

@GodHatesMe Visual Studio Code is open source.

Linux is widely used among developers and they r not ready to make a vs for it.

I use both vs code and vs. But will make the swirch to vs code and jetbrains IDEs in April

@Anaeijon You can develop for other platforms than windows using VS. And it is easily expandable.

@GodHatesMe in what is VS superior to VScode? Comparing a full fledge IDE to a scalable text editor is pretty unfair if you ask me.

@GodHatesMe I didn't 🤔

@Snatchedd Yes, you can.
But once you try to share your code with someone to build on his own machine, everything gets fucked up.

Converting a VS Project to a makefile project is hell. You need to change all the includes and imports, because VS handles Importing/Including illogically by default.
Collaboration is terrible, if someone in your team uses VS and doesn't do a lot of work to configure it to act like a sane C(++) IDE.

Even some text editors do that

@Anaeijon did not have many problems in my "workplace" up to now. Then again I'm a multiplatform user so it's not like I can't fix it myself.

Visual Studio is far superior to any IDE but people just don't want to accept it because it's tied to windows and it's made by Microsoft. Same goes for C# being tonnes better than java.

@Codex404
Once you work on intelliJ youll hate everything else :)

Just thought Id mention that Visual Studio isn't just for PC any more. They launched a Mac version of VS 2017 and I believe they are working towards Linux support. I know they are working closely with red hat on .Net core and .Net standard support. And I do mean VS not VS code..That launched cross platform.

@Anaeijon Visual Studio isn't limited to Windows development anymore...

This is a joke right?... Right?? 😂

thx but no thx git diff all day everyday. plus tons of IDEs doing that

since I switched to c# and vs, I'd never come back again, git and diff integration without leave the IDE and use the terminal. also I see still lot of ignorance
- Yes Visual studio is not open source, but there are lot of extensions, you can write one too and it's already few years that is not limited to windows anymore
- there is visual studio code, that's one of the most used and top (on github) open source projects (there is someone thinking that nobody use vs code)
anyway use whatever suit you the best...ah yes but let's just talk shit about MS without even know, because is cool

@mo3pheus i already use intellij, but the shortcut are to annoying and a hell to change

@Codex404 You need to change the default linux shortcuts - so they don't interfere with your coding. Such as cntrl+alt+l will lock your screen while you want to format the code. but once you set it up its bliss.

I love opening many projects together on VS Code
