"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are debugging and IntelliSense."

"It has higher quality code, faster debugging, and higher quality projects."
"It has the ability to jump to any file in your project with a few keystrokes, as well as the ability to command-click on any token in your code and have it jump to the token's definition."
"It has a ton of options and that sometimes can become very, very overwhelming for a new person, a new developer."
"It would be nice if Visual Studio's extensions and updates could self-correct, if they are not working or disabled, and also inform the user."
"The time that it takes to load the application can be reduced"
"What I don't like about Microsoft Visual Studio is its user interface. It could be better. WebStorm is a better solution for me as it has a good user interface and is more user-friendly, though my friends like Microsoft Visual Studio. I worked with WebStorm for the web layer, and for the server layer, I worked with IBM Eclipse which is my favorite software. I also dealt with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS through Angular."
"Could be improved with the ability to personalize the interface and development style and to edit extension requirements."
"The solution must provide user-friendly features."
"They could add new modules to the platform for enhanced functioning."
"It is simple to use for most developers and nearly impossible to use for non-developers."
"Most recent set of patches (2018) on Mac OS X caused the app to crash when you would cut more than 10 lines of code. Apparently, this was due to a bug in Eclipse, but regardless, it took several months for Zend to post a patch."
"The debugger often has problems determining where to map files to local projects."
"Stability is sometimes lacking in updates."
