I can write code and build projects. It helps me learn programming. It has many tools and good features. The interface is easy to understand and use. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it is slow when projects are big. Some advanced features need the paid version. It can be confusing for beginners. > > My experience with Visual Studio is good. It has guides and helps for learning code. Customer support helps if there is a problem. ----- ### "My experience with Microsoft Visual Studio" — 5.0/5 > **Kevin** | *26 June 2025* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to debug your code, including setting breakpoints, observing the current values of variables, and stepping through the code, executing one line at a time. > > **Cons**: Previous versions before Visual Studio 2022 contained some minor bugs, though it did not seriously affect the enjoyment and productivity of working with this software. I can't recall noticing any bugs in the 2022 version. > > I have used the free version for my own personal use, and made many programs, including a chess engine, a Mandelbrot fractal explorer, a 3D Rubik's cube simulator, and several beginnings of my own 3D computer games. I also taught myself C++ a number of years ago, using this software. ----- ### "Borlands' 1983 Turbo Pascal compiler worked better than Visual Studio." — 2.0/5 > **Martin** | *12 March 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It looks like a good IDE with most things I need readily available. It's a deception. Plenty of AI agents available to help (again, a deception). > > **Cons**: Too many bugs. Like playing Whacka-Mole. Agents destroy code quick so use Github. You will be restoring constantly. Never use Agent mode, only ask. Verify all code changes before you accept. Push working code frequently or you will waste hours trying to debug. > > Extremely poor. I've been using compilers and IDEs since the 1980's and I've never worked with one so poorly designed. Borlands Turbo Pascal from 1983 worked better than Visual Studio and it cost way less. ----- ### "Powerful IDE, But Resource-Heavy" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked Visual Studio’s powerful IDE features, including advanced debugging, IntelliSense, integrated testing, and seamless integration with Microsoft tools, which significantly boost developer productivity. > > **Cons**: I find Visual Studio heavy and resource-intensive, with slow startup times. Some features can feel bloated, and licensing costs may be high for smaller teams. > > My overall experience with Microsoft Visual Studio has been very productive due to its robust development tools, strong debugging capabilities, and deep integration with Microsoft ecosystems. However, it can feel slow and resource-heavy, and some features may be overwhelming for beginners. ----- ### "Microsoft Visual Studio-Visualize Your Code" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *3 February 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing I like most in visual studio code is that it provides a good environment for coding in all languages C++, java, TypeScript etc. It also provides live server to see your webpage while you create it. > > **Cons**: The thing I like least is that Visual studio is highly dependent on extensions to support languages and many features, some of these extensions are buggy which sometimes cause problems. > > The experience was Great as visual studio provides best environment for coding and web development, it also provides Emmet abbreviations which are very useful for beginners and it also has a built in GitHub support which comes in handy while working on opensource ----- Page: 1 / 121\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/101288/microsoft-visual-studio?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/101288/microsoft-visual-studio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
