Supports many coding languages and has a lot of useful extensions.Has multiple features like auto-complete,syntax highlighting reduce mistakes.The best part is that it is free and regularly updated. > > **Cons**: Visual studio code is sometimes confusing because of too many extensions. Some extension can cause a bug or slow performance. > > Overall experience with Visual Studio Code is very positive. It is reliable and flexible for both beginners and experienced users. ----- ### "The absolute standard for modern software development (and it's free)" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ecosystem for extensions is second to none; whether it be some programming language or framework I'm working on (Python, JS, Go, Docker), a plugin for it exists. The integration with Git is excellent for working with merge conflicts right within the editor. Additionally, the capabilities of Remote Development (WSL/SSH) enable me to code on a remote Linux machine as if I were on localhost. > > **Cons**: While it starts lightweight, it can become very resource-heavy (RAM) if you install too many extensions. The initial setup for some specific debuggers-like C++ or specialized PHP configs-requires fiddling with the launch.json files, which has a steeper learning curve compared to full-blown IDEs like Visual Studio or IntelliJ that work out of the box. > > We required an editor that could support multiple languages in one project (client side as well as server side). VS Code hit the right spot in terms of being lightening fast and feature-rich; it has now become an essential tool in our daily workflow right from documentation writing to debugging code in production environments ----- ### "Brilliant & Easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Luke** | *14 September 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Brilliant for free software, loads of integrations and plugins to use with it and the ability to use copilot and link seamlessly with github is great > > **Cons**: Copilot helps with the coding but its a little limited and can take a few attempts to get it right and to make sure its correct and ready for deploying > > Great to use for a simple project, lots of customisation and lots of integrations and plugins that can be used. Very easy to use and navigate too ----- ### "It's definitely a slimmed down version with lots of kinks that are done differently to the full blown Visual Studio" — 3.0/5 > **Dave** | *24 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it has a somewhat more simplified interface than the full blown Visual Studio > > **Cons**: It is lacking in a lot of features. IN some cases, I felt like they (Microsoft) are trying to change the way people do things between Visual Studio and VS Code. > > I had to install this to use and create SPFX solutions. SPFX was frustrating in itself, and then trying to figure out features and functionality of VS Code. I've been using VS for years that doing the switch to VS Code wasn't hard, but not straight forward either. ----- ### "Excellent and lightweight tool for web development" — 5.0/5 > **Mahbubul** | *4 July 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Visual Studio Code's extension marketplace is admirable. It allows me to effortlessly install the essential plug-in. additionally, its built - in terminal is extremely useful, and the software runs quickly with no lag. > > **Cons**: Every so often, if I open very large project files or install too many extension, the software can consume a bit higher RAM memory. Aside from this, it is a great software. > > From my experience, VS Code is the absolute best code editor I have ever used. It has made my coding workflow much faster and more structured. Seeing as it is totally free and decidedly customizable, I highly propose it to all students and professional developers. ----- Page: 1 / 69\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/186634/visual-studio-code?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/186634/visual-studio-code) ## 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 | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
