I switched because my workplace has licenses for VSPro, and IT doesn’t want us grabbing our own stuff off the internet.
What a disappointment! it’s worse, and harder to use in almost every way. For the record I’m coding in Python and just need git integration and a debugger.
It’s such a step back in design language and usability. Love to ignore free software in favor of its expensive “professional” counterpart 
That they share a name is misleading as vscode has infinitely more in common with atom than visual studio.
Visual Studio is great for .NET but lmao at trying to use it for python.
Also sucks that you have an IT department that considers the threat model for installing & using the latter as any different than the former.
I’m not a professional coder by any means but even just going from writing up short programs in notepad++ to VS feels disgusting. And I’m talking about all versions and all years. The things you people do for breakpoints is downright degrading. Just the names you have to remember for “folder”.
No idea what language you’re talking about here but writing any sort of C# program without an IDE? I’d rather get a tooth extraction without anesthesia.
Silly Hexbear, Visual Studio is not an upgraded counterpart of VSCode, Visual Studio is an IDE specialized for C#/Dotnet and C++ development, while VSCode is a general purpose source code editor with wide extension support for different programming languages.
Using Visual Studio for Python is like using VSCode for C#: while it is certainly possible, it would be a lot more difficult than using the proper tool for the job, so you should still stick with VSCode for Python!
You may have picked a bad example here, Visual Studio has good python support out of the box.
