As a long-time .NET Developer, there's no way in hell you're replacing my Visual Studio with Visual Studio Code. I'll sooner switch to Rider (which I have a license for and like to use on a Mac.) VSCode is a text editor on steroids. Visual Studio is an IDE. Full stop.


I'm in the same boat. I use VSCode for JavaScript and that is only because I'm required to by my workplace. Otherwise I'd be using Webstorm.

VS is on a whole other level than VSCode when it comes to C#. I suspect that many people here haven't really used the IDE features and VS' debugger for more than simple breaking and inspecting a variable.

Yes, if you have a hobby project, you can use VSCode instead of VS Community Edition just fine. But if you are dealing with concurrency errors, performance analysis, dump analysis, and very, very large projects, you can't use VsCode. VS' GUI is also a lot more flexible than VSCode's. In VS I can have a lot more information present where in VSCode I need to constantly switch windows.
