Visual Studio Code vs Visual Studio

In this video I compare the top 2 titans in the developer environment market: VS Code and Visual Studio. Both are great developer tools! The Visual Studio 2019 Preview comes back with improvements, but do you really need all of the fluff that comes with Visual Studio compared to VS Code?

As a newbie, searching for the difference between Visual studio and visual studio has been a pain lol

[DeZiio]

Just getting into both and I already feel more comfortable with VS Code's simplicity. Good video 👍

This was a really thought out video. I just got into creating video games for mobile, and I was confused on what IDE or code editor to use. Thank you so much for

I know I'm 4 years late, but i think this is still helpful even today. I agree with you take very much. My only thing about VS Code is the clutter that builds up on the nav when installing extensions. I know that I can hide them, but I feel like there is something better that can be done about it. I'm not sure though.

In 2021, VSCode has been a really good option. It has many of the features of an IDE, but still maintains the speed. So for me, VSCode is the choice.

Nice video :)

Visual Studio having so many possible windows that u never really use feels a bit unecessary, but when time goes along u realize that u might need most of them, that is if u explored them and knew what they do.. of course they will just be there, not doing anything til the end of time if u don´t know when or why to use them

For both VS Code and Visual Studio I think the choice is more about what u are used to, there is less cognitive stress caused when working with something where u know where everything is and intuitively know what to do to get the job done

For any1 used to working with bashy environments and straight up folder structures, VS Code would probably feel more like home, and of course since "always living the bash dream" is kind of associated with cross platforming

Thanks. It would have been good to hear more about the differences in debugging capability between the two. You barely scratched the surface.

I have recently switched to Linux as my Only OS, so I have been getting used to VS code after using Visual Studio for almost a Decade, I like how it is much lighter and responsive compared to the former, But I do miss some of the features.

I'm 30 seconds in, and I already know why you have an IDE and Editor. I do the same thing. Sometimes, it is just necessary.

For me I used VS Code for unity and it gave me hell. Support broke time to time and was frustrating So I switched to Visual Studio even I liked Vs Code.

interesting feedback Geek! Yes, I'd watch you ruminate for 2hrs on this.
M2C: seems no matter what environment I pick, there's a ton of time spent customizing things. Somehow VSCode seems more approachable, though I've spent dozens of hours customizing stuff - it seems more 'hackable'. VS-Studio seems sort of 'out-of-the-box', and I do not see all the files and profiles in the same way VSCode presents them.
Curious - from a data-scientist pov - which may be better. Can I run the whole fine by default in the REPL interpreter..etc. many questions. Got to do my own research?
What'd I pay you for !:? :)

Is Visual Studio better for game development though? Since it might require a more complex compatibility with the languages?

I know... that you know.... that I know.... Damn it I'm in.... Subscribe.

Not sure if someone corrected you on this my friend but visual studio for Mac is a thing 🙂

[Duge]

Do you even need to consider Visual Studio if you have a JetBrains licence?

[technosapien]

Couldnt you just use Bootcamp to install visual studio on your mac?

[randispoling]

I’m looking to mess around with Java and python. Thoughts on which one would be best for someone that’s fairly new?

[titangamer]

Hi, this video is very helpful .
Can you please help me in configuring vs code for c++, it will be very helpful for me.

[Duge]

The displays, where can one get those images

[addtyu]

Start doing WPF and you will puke at visual sudio...
