I had previously tried other environments such as Atom or Sublime Text, but none offered the capabilities of Microsoft Visual Studio.

I have used a couple of different packages prior to Microsoft Visual Studio.

Previously, I was using HTML Editor for JavaScript coding. I got into development, and that's why I switched to Microsoft Visual Studio.

Previously, we used Sublime for backend connectivity. We switched because Sublime is a basic and not a standard tool for companies. We can create only small projects using it. However, Microsoft Visual Studio is an open-source tool that offers a lot of technologies. With its help, we can develop applications in various languages, create Windows or iOS software, and even build console applications.

We chose Microsoft Visual Studio due to the fact that it's a .NET part for developing applications and contains many more things like C#, a mobile application for Xamarin, and MBC, et cetera. That's why many people are using it. I can't speak to what was used before.

I didn't switch from another platform or vendor. That said, I combined something with Visual Studio Code. There are some plugins that only I can use in Visual Studio Code and the Visual Studio Code community is more active.

Having used various products at different companies, I must highlight that Microsoft's development technology, particularly in the realm of databases, has proven to be more intuitive and superior. It demonstrated a higher level of user-friendliness and efficiency.

Previously we worked with different IDEs. We use Visual Studio in parallel with VS Code in parallel with Atom. We also work with Eclipse. 

I prefer Visual Studio because I am also working with Microsoft Teams.

We used Borland IDE before switching to this solution. Borland C++ builder was a good product then, but we switched to this solution because we think Microsoft Visual Studio is currently the best IDE.

I started with VB Access and Visual FoxPro. 

I previously used SQL Server Management Studio which is very popular for development. However, I wanted to source code handling as well, and this is why I moved to Microsoft Visual Studio.

I did not previously use a different product. 

We were using another solution prior to Microsoft Visual Studio.

We use NetBeans for Java development. When I compare NetBeans with Visual Studio, Visual Studio is more professional than NetBeans.

We previously used SharePoint Designer. However, Microsoft Visual Studio was more robust and interacted better with each component.

I previously used Eclipse but it is not a very stable solution and it would crash sometimes. Microsoft Visual Studio has never crashed for me.

When I came to work in this company, the company had already decided to use this tool. So I have to use this tool for development when working here because it is what was available for development.  

I have not used a previous solution.

I started learning .NET using Visual Studio and still using. As far as developing .NET solutions are concerned, Visual Studio is all that is needed. I did use Eclipse and Netbeans long back to develop Java solutions.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio since .NET first came out. Prior to that, I used tools with other software development languages like Eclipse. Eclipse was an IDE-independent software vendor. 

The switch depended on a cost-benefit analysis. It was positive for me.

I used Sublime before. 

We currently also use GitHub.

I am familiar with Google Chrome, Gmail, and Visual Studio. I now own a small company that does some development. I am a one-man operation.

I've been using CLion IDE on Linux. It's good, but Visual Studio is more intuitive, and Microsoft offers better support. 

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

We used other solutions before, but we decided to switch to Microsoft Visual Studio because it is the best solution for developing the Windows platform. We considered using Delphi Solutions, but few people were familiar with the platform, so we chose Visual Studio. More people use Visual Studio.
