I am not a developer, but I maintain several sites. I frequently need a text editor that can highlight syntax, strip away formatting cruft from Word, and generally give me confidence that I'm handling code snippets correctly. VSC does this well.
Pros
I previously used open source text editors like Notepad++. They're great. But VSC looks better and does all the syntax highlighting I need--and the core product is free.
Cons
The frequent update cycle means that frequently when I open it for light use it will fire an update. That's only slightly disruptive and is really not a complaint.

The best Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

I enjoyed software development like a game throughout my experience of using Visual Studio for development of .Net applications for local and cloud environments.
Pros
It is the most featured Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with bulk of features. It is best choice for .Net developers for building powerful applications for local and cloud environments. Its functionality can also be further extended using plugins. It is also good for mobile application development. Its intellisense is the best among all.
Cons
It is heavy to operate. It occupies huge part of my disk space. It hangs sometime during operations. Lack of support to opensource languages.

This is a very useful tool. We use it to provide reporting and analytics for our entire operation. It's SSIS features and reporting tools allow us to present data in different formats and real time so issues can be resolved and we can look high level or as detailed as needed at our organaization.
Pros
I like how the Microsoft product continues to evolve. In 2017 we make SSIS on its own server. It speeds up Queries and has always on availability groups. Moving it to the cloud has also helped make it more available. It now has a more robust reporting tool to provide analytics on use and ways to improve run times and queries
Cons
It is a lot different then previous versions. All of the code required major changes to run. There was several issues with connecting to Access databases and Microsoft products that are "known bugs" or being worked on. I cant understand why a product gets out that doesn't integrate with other microsoft products flawlessly.

while Visual Studio Code is a popular code editor with many powerful features, it may not be the right choice for everyone. It is important to consider your specific needs and preferences when deciding on a code editor.Overall, Visual Studio Code is a powerful and flexible code editor that is well-liked by many developers.
Pros
IntelliSense: Visual Studio Code's IntelliSense provides intelligent code completion, hinting, and formatting as you type. This can help you write code more quickly and accurately.Debugging: Visual Studio Code has a built-in debugger that allows you to find and fix errors in your code. It supports debugging for multiple languages, including JavaScript, C++, and C#.Extensibility: Visual Studio Code is highly extensible, meaning that you can install extensions to add new features and functionality to the editor. There are thousands of extensions available, so you can customize Visual Studio Code to meet your specific needs.Cross-platform support: Visual Studio Code runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, so you can use it on any platform.Git integration: Visual Studio Code includes Git source control integration, so you can easily track changes to your code and collaborate with others.
Cons
Some potential cons of Microsoft Visual Studio Code include:Limited support for some languages: While Visual Studio Code supports a wide range of programming languages, it may not have as much support for certain languages as other code editors.Extensibility can be overwhelming: While the ability to install extensions can be a powerful feature, it can also be overwhelming for some users. It may be difficult to find the right extensions to install, and managing multiple extensions can be time-consuming.Memory usage: Some users have reported that Visual Studio Code can be resource-intensive, particularly when working with large files or when many extensions are installed.No built-in support for some features: Visual Studio Code does not include some features that are commonly found in other code editors, such as a built-in terminal or support for directly editing the HTML of a webpage. These features can be added through extensions, but this may not be convenient for everyone.

Great IDE

Feature rich, very easy to use, loads of plugins and language support.
Cons
I missed having file edit history and labels that IntelliJ and Webstorm provide. I use git instead.
