Quite pleased with the plethora of features VS has to offer, though the IDE could really benefit from an interface overhaul.
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).
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.

Using this studio we created some custom packages for our projects.
It is very useful to create a program in multiple languages. A User-friendly interface helps us to development process very easy. Also, it is indicating any syntax errors.
This software is high cost compare to another.

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.
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
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.

Overall, Microsoft Visual Studio is a powerful and comprehensive IDE that provides developers with a wide range of tools and features for software development. While it can be challenging to learn and resource-intensive, it is a valuable tool for developers who need a comprehensive solution for their development needs. The cost may be a barrier for some users, but for those who can afford it, Visual Studio is a worthwhile investment in productivity and software quality.
1 Comprehensive: Microsoft Visual Studio is a comprehensive integrated development environment (IDE) that provides a wide range of tools and features for software development. These include code editing, debugging, testing, and collaboration tools, making it a one-stop-shop for developers.2 Cross-platform support: Visual Studio supports multiple programming languages and platforms, including Windows,...
1 Steep learning curve: Because Visual Studio is such a comprehensive IDE, it can be challenging for new users to learn all of its features and how to use them effectively. This can make it difficult for beginners to get started with Visual Studio.2 Resource-intensive: Visual Studio can be resource-intensive, requiring a powerful computer to run smoothly. This can make it difficult for developers with...

Best Integrated Development Environment I have ever used especially for frontend development.
I used this for my frontend development. Most likely thing about VS is easy debugging.
Initially I took some time to learn the features of VS. I wouldn't say it was a problem but I struggled a bit.
