Visual Studio IDE: powerful, complete and dynamic for all your business needs
Overall, my experience with Visual Studio IDE is quite positive. One of the tools that allows you to work very fluidly, the debugging integration is one of its killer features. The ability to insert breakpoints (even conditional ones), inspect variables and objects at runtime, and navigate within the code makes this tool very agile and important during the development and troubleshooting phase. This solution adapts to the needs of every developer, as the marketplace allows you to install add-ons and additional components. The NuGet package manager makes the solution truly complete. Obviously, it's not perfect, and in some cases, the tool's hefty size introduces general slowness. Another less positive aspect is the solution's updating requirements, which often require several GB.
