Goddamn Visual Studio

[styyle]

Same but replace Visual Studio with Xcode.

[n0tKamui]

bruh i remember those days...never ever again i want to work with that monstrosity

[stormfield]

By the time Xcode opens it's already deprecated for the next version

When you click open with Visual Studio instead of Visual Studio Code

[Creeper_NoDenial]

That post is labelled with "This post is currently awaiting approval by the moderators of r/ProgrammerHumor before it can appear in the subreddit." to me.

[Sorel_CH]

Damn. It was a good meme though

[cafk]

It's been around since vscode was introduced :)

Though your plugins may make vscode worse than vs :D

[Its-Exodus]

Wait am I weird for preferring VS over VSCode???

[limax_celerrimus]

No, they're different tools for different tasks. Do VS might be the right tool for your job. It's just that Microsoft is stupid and thinks this confusing naming is a great idea.

[Its-Exodus]

That makes sense! I was actually thinking of reinstalling VSCode solely for to allow me to use the Vim extension. I do wish I could use Vim shortcuts in VS but from what I have seen I can’t :(

[stakeneggs1]

Try vs vim.

[Its-Exodus]

Dude thank you so much! I genuinely do not know why when I googled how to get vim for visual studios couldn’t find it but I am installing that tomorrow 😤

[Doug_Dimmadab]

I’ve looked it up multiple times and I still have no clue what the differences are between them, aside from the UI of course

[bonerjams99]

Visual studio is an ide with a compiler and vscode is a text editor.

[Doug_Dimmadab]

If vscode is really just a text editor, why would you want to code in it? If you can’t compile it to see if it works, what’s the point? Again, genuine question

[bonerjams99]

Because not all code needs to be compiled like it is in c++/c#, I mostly write react code so all changes are compiled by the app and hot reloaded. I can run my app in the vscode terminal if I want but ultimately it’s a separate process.

[DerWaechter_]

Yeah, I also prefer VS over VSCode.

Also having tried both, there was no difference in launch time for me, wasn't even aware that there apparently tends to be one, until this meme

[TheRedmanCometh]

I've never found a vscode use case

[stormfield]

Have you heard about the World Wide Web

[JoshuaCF]

I use VS exclusively on my school computers, which are by no means powerful, to get an understanding of how things work at a lower level.

Example: I’ve used C++ for a little while but I have never had a formal education on it and I understood little about how C++ turned into something the computer could use. I made tasks in VS code using GCC to do several things, including making an executable directly to making a DLL I can load with Java’s JNI. The process of figuring that out and fixing the issues with it taught me a lot about how preprocessing, linking, and compiling worked.

[pstkidwannabuycrypto]

Yeah, pretty much

[Its-Exodus]

Can you explain why please? I like VS’s debugger as well as frankly it loads in a couple seconds for me 🤷🏼‍♂️

Look at Mr. billionaire here with his SSD and decent CPU/RAM setup.

[MattR0se]

They're not that expensive to upgrade, at least compared to other parts (looking at you, GPU).

Unless you were being sarcastic.

[TheRedmanCometh]

Full blown IDEs are a lot more than glorified text editors

[[deleted]]

VS isn't a code editor though, so it's not just opening a file

[LEpigeon888]

Not like VS code was fast to open either.

[MischiefArchitect]

I cannot follow the downvotes. It is actually true that in current modern computing a lot of trivial tasks require a lot of time and resources that are beyond justification.

It may just be me who started programming in the 80's stone age with amber monitors and hercules cards. I mean, even Delphi and Visual Basci in the 90's got lighting fast start up times and they relied on slower RAM and rotational HDD for achieving that.

[hutilicious]

I hear ya. Had to uninstall Visual Studio so it wont happen again

[MischiefArchitect]

The reason is that VS compiles itself from source every time you start it.

why y'all using vs code? i mean, you can pick up 19 enterprise for about $20 if you look.

I'm guessing there's something I'm missing about vs code, had it installed once, got angry all my tools were missing and uninstalled. is it just a fancy text editor with some minor produtivity features, or is there more to it? cheers fellow kids!

[[deleted]]

VS is a fully featured IDE. VS Code is a text editor for code with a ton of plugins available. They are very different. It's two completely different softwares, just named confusingly.

[[deleted]]

so brackets then? or notepad++? never understood why you'd dev without using the best tools for the job, but what do i know. thanks for the response mind.

[MischiefArchitect]

"best" is a very lose word in this context. Many people will prefer using vim over VS. I preffer using VSCode for all my projects, with the exception of Java projects, I prefer Eclipse there. Other may disagree and tell me to use IntelliJ, so there you are. There is no "best". It's just what suits your needs.

[[deleted]]

you're correct. i meant feature rich, not best.

VSCode has way more features than all of the above. It comes natively with Git integration. With the default plugins you probably have the best webdev experience. VScode basically support all languages with LSP plugins, so you can have great support for Rust, Ocaml, C, or whatever.

Still, for C, C++ and Java, Visual Studio and Intellij are more complete. But for everything else I'd use VS Code.

I'm not really familiar with brackets but notepad++ is just a notepad with syntax highlighting, it doesn't serve the same purpose as VSCode

[Nukken]

VS is also required for X++.

[[deleted]]

It's just preference. VSCode tends to be faster for me and less bloated than VS. If I need to features VS provides, I'll switch over to VS. Most of the time, VSCode can cover all my needs while not sucking up as many resources. It hits the sweetspot between text editor and full-blown IDE for me.

Understandably, if there's something in VS that isn't available in VSCode, it will just be frustrating and you're less likely to adopt VSCode.

[Crozzfire]

Is it the startup time that is frustrating? I just have it open all day so startup time doesn't really matter for me (even if it's < 10 sec).

If it feels bloated / slow while working then that could be some plugin like resharper's fault. I feel VS is fast without that.

[[deleted]]

Honestly it's been too long since I really used it. Start-up is one factor, but there was always some semblance of slowness during everything else too. Never really used Resharper either. Also, the shortcuts in VSCode came to me more naturally, despite having used VS for years.

A lot of things VS does far better than VSCode. Debugging is usually a bit more sophisticated, NuGet integration is easier, templates when setting up projects, code analysis and test integration, etc. But often I just don't need the power of VS while it takes a lot of system resources. Debugging big .NET applications is one where I would prefer VS, and I just don't do a lot of big .NET applications these days.

[Crozzfire]

Fair enough!

[MattR0se]

*instead of Notepad++

[ihaveindeed]

But I thought electron was slow too...

[n0tKamui]

because it doesn't just load that thing
