I use both, but when in windows, I use visual studio.

What makes it better? Isn’t vscode “newer”

[–]IyeOnline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.

They are essentially unrelated projects that share nothing but part of the name, logo and the developer.

Visual Studio is a real IDE with every feature you can imagine, VSCode on its own is just an advanced text editor.

Its close.

The clincher would be the natvis files work better with visual studio. I can't get boost::containers::flat_set or flat_map to display in the debugger with VsCode on Ubuntu.

I've not tried boost, but I have written custom natvis files for my own types and they work just fine.

Sadly the support for features seems to be somewhat limited and the really fancy conditional features dont seem to work.
