I adore Visual Studio for how it set the gold standard for code editing. VsCode is growing rapidly, but Visual Studio set an incredibly high bar.

For anyone reading along, Visual Studio Community Edition was free and fantastic last time I tried it, and it does 99% of anything any individual developer cares about.

The paid professional license shines for big messy enterprise stuff, but most people looking for an editor don't need to worry about that.

All that said, disclaimer for full honesty: my tool of choice is NeoVim - often with a splash of VSCodium.

I don't actually use VS either mostly because I prefer to use a lighter editor and the commandline. But it does set a high bar for what an IDE should be.
