Powerful IDE for Desktop Software Development

Quite pleased with the plethora of features VS has to offer, though the IDE could really benefit from an interface overhaul.
Pros
Starting a C# project & adding libraries & plugins have thus far been flawless with minimal frustration when trying to figure out how to do certain functions (in the IDE, not code-wise).
Cons
Been using Visual Studio since 2010 & while I have zero issues with the WinForm app interface, I believe that VS needs more UI customizations for WinForm especially when trying to create an aesthetically-appealing (not a plain) interface to entice users to use the software more frequently.

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.

Helpful tool for certain programming languages
Reviewed on 15/3/2023
Pros
The user interface is great and the debugger is fantastic. I've used VSCode with Javascript, Python, and Hack (PHP) with no issues and it has greatly elevated my productivity.
Cons
Some languages don't have the best support in this IDE. For example when developing with Golang, Goland may be a better IDE since it has language specific features. VS Code is great for general development though.

Visual Studio is a great beginner-friendly development tool which provides the best debugging features, work flow templates, and Gui for efficient coding experience.
Pros
As mentioned before, Microsoft's visual studio has great comparison feature and debugging features. I frequently use the code comparison for code merging and to compare the code between different environments. It is very efficient to catch errors using the inbuilt debugging feature in visual studio.
Cons
The least I like about Microsoft visual studio is the collaboration is only really quick if its other Microsoft tools.
