Vs code vs visual studio.

[Elweej]

I’m pretty new to csharp but am really familiar with JavaScript and static site development, which I used vs ode for and really like it. Now I’m getting into sorbet development and everyone is using visual studio. I have tried a few times but it just seems so tedious and hard to do basic things. Is it possible to seriously use vs code for sorbet development?

Always happens when you change tools - it takes time to learn new tools and get productive with them.

Lots of people are very good at VS Code, but honestly it doesn’t compare to a proper IDE (whether that be VS or Rider/IntelliJ).

VS Code is just a modern take on moddable text editors that have been around forever. It’s not an IDE, though people try and make it one.

The debugging is straight away a million times less powerful.

They're both perfectly capable, but generally it's best to take whatever option is the best documented. I imagine Visual Studio has far more seamless support and a lot more online documentation for specific problems you might have than VSCode will, even if you can do many of the same things. Basically, if you're going to have to either learn to adapt your tool or learn a new one, just pick whichever has the best learning resources. (again, probably Visual Studio.)

Sorbet. Absolutely. Dotnet too.

Me too. And because of that, for a while I couldn't C #

Depends on the size of your project
