"upgraded" to Visual Studio Pro after using Visual Studio Code for years (hexbear.net)

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 shatter

Yeah python isn't really a language that visual studio targets. Its mainly for C# or C++ development, which allow for more dedicated tooling beyond just writing code. VSCode is much more suitable for things like python or javascript.

Personally I love Visual Studio. It can be a bit slow in some ways, but the tooling is so good around debugging or running/writing tests. Also refactoring is super easy with it.
