"Microsoft Visual Studio is a must-have tool if you work in Windows environments."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the way we are able to design code, deploy, and test our application. It is easy to move an artifact from the start to the deployment stage.

WebStorm is a better solution for me as it has a good user interface and is more user-friendly, though my friends like Microsoft Visual Studio.

"The pricing for licenses could be reduced to make this solution more competitive."
"Long installation or upgrade times are sometimes a problem."
"Microsoft should add more visualization for analytical studies or research."
"Microsoft Visual Studio can improve by bringing back designers. They used to have designers for architecture charts and diagrams. They were able to do things, such as database design. If they can bring them back, it would be great."
