Visual Studio Professional 2022 Reviews

My main use case for Visual Studio Professional 2022 is building disposable apps for my current projects. As a research analyst, I come across various tasks which include usage of software, or perhaps paid software, but I can use it and develop through Visual Studio Professional 2022 for my purpose.

While working on any research projects, I often have to conduct web searches and extract data and intelligence from web sources, which is a really time-consuming task. Recently, I developed a web scraper that extracts various news items from some of the ten companies which I have listed as part of my research work. The scraper was built in Visual Studio Professional 2022 IDE where I could extract the web links, article headlines, and some content from there, saving a considerable amount of research time.

Using Visual Studio Professional 2022 helped me build that web scraper more efficiently compared to platforms such as ChatGPT and Claude, which are also IDEs, but they were less efficient in building these software solutions. Visual Studio Professional 2022 is a fully functional IDE with advanced capabilities that provide an edge over other platforms.

Largely the same thing, I use Visual Studio Professional 2022 for disposable apps and creating scrapers that help me with regular day-to-day workload management with the AI functionality therein.

As I mentioned, I use Visual Studio Professional 2022 to make disposable apps or scrapers, which eventually help me increase productivity and reduce turnaround time in terms of project delivery. A lot of manual efforts are saved with the automated disposable apps created for the particular project I am working on, which overall increases efficiency and productivity.

While working on web and research work, tasks might take three to four days to gather all the information. With Visual Studio Professional 2022's automated scraper, it can do the same task in one or maximum two days, including review time. I believe this represents approximately a fifty percent improvement in productivity.

I believe the best features that Visual Studio Professional 2022 offers include its main core functionality, which combines coding, building, debugging, testing, and all deployments under one roof. This is a big advantage for people in my situation. Secondly, I would highlight the AI assistant called IntelliSense, which is good at suggesting code and auto compilation. Thirdly, the ability to connect third-party extensions such as Claude and ChatGPT Codex is valuable.

I believe IntelliSense is a good tool to work with, but I wish it could be strengthened in terms of auto suggestions and code rectification. It is efficient at this moment but has room for improvement.

Firstly, there is room for improvement in IntelliSense auto suggestion and auto compilation. Although it is very good and robust, it can be improved. Secondly, I have noticed that it sometimes takes a little time to start up and can be a bit slow, perhaps because it consumes lots of RAM or CPU resources. If that can be improved, it would be beneficial.

Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I believe it needs some improvement in accuracy and reliability. At the moment, while AI provides suggestions, I have to review and edit them. Although it has its concerns, it is good in that AI now gives a first draft, whereas in the past, humans had to write everything from scratch.

I have been using Visual Studio Professional 2022 for approximately one to one and a half years.

Visual Studio Professional 2022 is stable. Sometimes it takes a little time on startup, but the rest of the functions are stable.

Visual Studio Professional 2022 is scalable because it is a very fully functional IDE, compared to Visual Studio Code, which is a lightweight version with limitations in scaling. Visual Studio Professional 2022 allows building large and complex solutions.

I have not used any solutions before Visual Studio Professional 2022. I was manually writing code and sometimes using ChatGPT for cloud and normal IDEs.

I increased the turnaround time by approximately fifty percent in terms of automating research work.

Visual Studio Professional 2022 was provided to me as part of the company's software suite, so I am not aware of any competitors at this moment. I have been largely using Visual Studio Professional 2022.

Visual Studio Professional 2022 is a good tool, and I would rate it nine out of ten overall.

I chose nine out of ten because, as I mentioned in my review at the start, it is an all-in-one platform and a fully functional IDE, which is very useful for me since I do not have to go to other platforms. It covers coding, deployment, testing, building, AI assistance, and third-party integration apps such as Claude, everything under one roof. Secondly, the company offers it as part of the software suite.

Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I find it secured in terms of data privacy and code privacy because it is part of the Microsoft ecosystem, so I trust Microsoft for that.

I think Visual Studio Professional 2022 is one of the best options in the market. It offers all-in-one features, is a full rich IDE, and incorporates coding, testing, debugging, everything under one roof, along with third-party integration and AI assistance all in one place. My overall rating for Visual Studio Professional 2022 is nine out of ten.

We use Visual Studio Professional 2022 for our coding purposes, and we have a lot of integrations in place. It is easy to install and simple to manage the extensions. We can develop, configure, deploy with ease, debug, and query all within one integrated development environment.

The IntelliSense feature in Visual Studio Professional 2022 improved our coding speed. I did not use it extensively before, but it definitely enhanced my productivity because the feature provides an auto-enable mode where we can easily type our code. That feature is very effective.

The key benefits that I have seen from using Visual Studio Professional 2022 on AWS include ease of implementation, the ability to write and integrate code with multiple environments, and agile planning tools that work seamlessly. The GitHub Enterprise connection is straightforward. We can easily create S3, DynamoDB, and every AWS service through the platform. We have Amazon Q Developer, which is an AI-powered assistant that can provide coding suggestions.

The integration of AWS in Visual Studio Professional 2022 is the best feature because we are currently using AWS. We have Azure as well, but we use it very little. We have GCP as well, and GCP is also used minimally, but we are primarily on AWS. Integrating with AWS is straightforward. We can easily use the AWS SDK built-in mode, and Amazon Q AI assistance is available.

We code for Terraform in Visual Studio Professional 2022, and we can use extensions for making the code more readable, along with Terraform formatting. We use a folder-in-folder method. Installing the AWS toolkit is simple. Importing credentials is straightforward and secure.

Several functionality features that I really appreciate in Visual Studio Professional 2022 are debugging, testing, and CodeLens. These are very effective for core development. For productivity and collaboration, we have version control through Git, which is easy to use.

One area I could suggest regarding improvements in deployment efficiency using Visual Studio Professional 2022 is that the context-aware code suggestion should be more tailored. Since AI is advancing and we are using it to reduce our tasks, the improvement is present, but it is not at the level where it could help us more substantially. I would suggest that AI-powered IntelliSense could be significantly improved. I used it less initially, but I will use it more if these enhancements are implemented. Cross-language refactoring would be valuable, such as refactoring variables, functions, or classes across multiple languages. If I am coding in Python, I could easily use those variables in Ruby as well.

I have been working with Visual Studio Professional 2022 on AWS for the last one year.

The performance aspect of Visual Studio Professional 2022 is very good.

When it comes to scalability, it is easy to scale up and scale out with Visual Studio Professional 2022.

We never required contacting customer service for Visual Studio Professional 2022, but I believe they are quite effective because it is easy to work with them.

Before Visual Studio Professional 2022, we used multiple different products, including Eclipse, which is primarily for Java. However, since Visual Studio Code handles everything, we switched to Visual Studio Code. We also used Cursor. The Visual Studio Code theme and UI are simple, so we remained with Visual Studio Code and purchased the professional features.

The initial setup process for Visual Studio Professional 2022 is straightforward.

Regarding the pricing aspect of Visual Studio Professional 2022, it is straightforward. I do not think it is a very high price. The price is fair. It represents a good return on investment because if you compare it to other pricing options, they may be cheaper, but they do not provide this many benefits. The benefits that Visual Studio Professional 2022 provides combined with the pricing makes it a good choice.

We never evaluated any other options besides Visual Studio Professional 2022. On the new project which I am working on, they were using Visual Studio Code for a long time. I have worked on other IDEs as well and found Visual Studio Professional 2022 simple to use and easy to work with. We selected Visual Studio Professional 2022 exclusively.

I have never tried Git source control in Visual Studio Professional 2022. We purchased Visual Studio Professional 2022 through the AWS Marketplace. I would say if you are heavily invested in AWS or even any other cloud tool, Visual Studio Professional 2022 is simple to use. I know it is 2024, but the platform remains very effective. The AI features and everything are straightforward to use. The code autocomplete feature is also very straightforward. It represents a good return on investment, and we should definitely choose Visual Studio Professional 2022. I have given this product a rating of 10 out of 10.

I am using Visual Studio Professional 2022 for test automation. For test automation, I use only Visual Studio and VS Code; I use VS Code for my Playwright and Visual Studio for my Selenium C#.

I am an individual developer, so it does not impact my collaboration or coordination within the team.

My best part about Visual Studio Professional 2022 is their support and the suggestions they are giving in the IDE.

Capability in Visual Studio Professional 2022 means it is supporting all things like testing for my testing purpose, as well as the development; everything is integrated in Visual Studio Professional 2022.

I am not using the Live Share feature in Visual Studio Professional 2022.

I have not used that feature, so I cannot comment on whether it impacts my coding speed and accuracy.

I use Visual Studio Professional 2022 to integrate my Selenium project into Playwright; it is very useful.

The integration is good; I can integrate my Selenium C# code to Playwright in C# code easily, and it is very comfortable.

I am not using the code refactoring capability in Visual Studio Professional 2022 yet.

I am using ADO to integrate my code, and I am using Visual Studio Professional 2022 with my Azure DevOps platform; it is working fine and GitHub is also working fine for me.

Currently, Visual Studio Professional 2022 is not supporting the .TS, TypeScript code, which is a disadvantage, because with Playwright, we can do that in C#, but having Playwright code with TypeScript, I am not able to see any project or any suggestion about the .TS code.

Integrating the TypeScript code in Visual Studio Professional 2022 would be great as a future improvement.

I would appreciate the ability to integrate TypeScript code. Specifically, I would like to use TypeScript with Playwright, as currently, we have a lot of options, but we do not have any options for .TS code in Visual Studio Professional 2022.

It would be great to add TypeScript, the .TS; we should be able to create a project with Playwright and with TypeScript, as it currently supports only C#, not TypeScript.

I started using Visual Studio Professional 2022 from 2022 and had been using previous versions for 20 years.

I would rate stability for Visual Studio Professional 2022 as nine out of ten.

I would also rate scalability as nine out of ten.

The technical support for Visual Studio Professional 2022 is good; I would rate it as nine.

I have not been using anything similar to Visual Studio Professional 2022.

I would say that Visual Studio Professional 2022 is very easy to install; I do not use any cloud, but I am using OneDrive.

As a personal user, I see value for money; my company is not providing it for me, but I pay by myself, and I think it is pretty good, about 30% value.

I am using the free version of Visual Studio Professional 2022. I find the price of Visual Studio Professional 2022 to be affordable.

Mainly the integration part is the major difference between VS Code and Visual Studio Professional 2022; it is easy for me to upload my scripts in the repo using Visual Studio Professional 2022, but I can see some difference in VS Code.

I am working with Visual Studio Professional 2022 as a customer today. I chose to use Visual Studio Professional 2022 because I already have a license for my Windows 11 and Office 365. I did not look into purchasing any solutions from AWS Marketplace. My final rating for Visual Studio Professional 2022 is ten.

The main use cases for Visual Studio Professional 2022 are somewhat diminished compared to before. Previously, it had a significant advantage for C++ developers because it had an edit and continue feature, which is unique. Java has a similar feature called hot reload, and Visual Studio and Microsoft compilers allowed for similar functionality on C++, but despite it still being declared, it does not work in most cases recently, probably because of CMake and maybe a conflict with the edit and continue feature.

Currently, the most significant advantage is the convenience of running tests, with good filtering of test results and a good view, but there are not many advantages for C++ professionals.

The key benefits I have seen from using Visual Studio Professional 2022 include resolving conflicts in Git and, since edit and continue is no longer functional, advanced test view and test running. It supports parallel test running and allows viewing test results during test running, which somewhat optimizes my workflow. It allows me to debug particular tests and filter enabled and disabled tests, letting me see which tests can be enabled again after fixing, which is probably the best advantage in terms of performance.

I have used the IntelliSense feature in Visual Studio Professional 2022 a lot and think it is a very good feature. However, in the modern world, Clangd, which is from the LLVM compiler toolchain infrastructure, serves C++, C, and C++ and provides good information similar to IntelliSense, but more precise, as it uses a program database, which IntelliSense also utilizes.

I find refactoring capabilities in Visual Studio Professional 2022 to be a very good feature with multiple ways to refactor code, but unfortunately, lately, those features have degraded. It is interesting that some features of Visual Studio just stop working for C++ while keeping working for C#, indicating that the focus has switched to C# and TypeScript and is losing focus on C++, unfortunately.

I do use Git source control in Visual Studio Professional 2022, and some feedback regarding Git source control has caused improvements in the UI. Visual Studio has pretty good support for Git conflict resolving features, but it still does not support rebase, so this user experience is not solid and still requires the console to use Git.

Apart from the editing feature, I would like to see improvement in Visual Studio Professional 2022 because performance has dropped significantly, making it currently about 100 times slower than Qt Creator, which is unreasonable to use in a multi-core environment such as the 128 cores that I use.

On Windows, Visual Studio does not provide much of a performance gain, so for professional developers, Ubuntu with some KDevelop or at least Visual Studio Code or Qt Creator gives much better results.

Configuring a CMake project takes about a couple of minutes in Visual Studio Professional 2022, while the same project takes about 10 seconds in Ubuntu.

Apart from the editing feature, performance, and IntelliSense in Visual Studio Professional 2022, the most important missing aspect is that the focus on maintaining existing features has been lost. Feedback processing should be restored or improved. Features and feedback are being closed before being addressed, with timeouts of a couple of weeks and months, closing feedback regardless of its importance. I wonder if they began editing use cases or stopped tracking whether test cases passed or not, which should be controlled somehow.

I have been working with Visual Studio Professional for more than five years in total. Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022, I had it recently, but currently, no. During the past year, I did have Visual Studio Professional 2022 and worked with it.

Regarding the stability and reliability of Visual Studio Professional 2022 on a scale of one to ten, I think that stability and reliability are different marks. Given that features are disappearing, I would rate reliability as a three out of ten, while stability is pretty stable and does not crash much, so I can give it an eight or nine.

Regarding scalability in Visual Studio Professional 2022 in terms of code size and how big the project is, I find it pretty scalable and would rate it as an eight or nine.

Concerning technical support and customer service for Visual Studio Professional 2022, I have tried to create feedback several times, and unfortunately, I can say that if it yields results, the process remains silent from my perspective.

I feel it is a team that can be safely removed from the company without any changes, so I would rate them as one, given that zero is not an option.

The setup process for Visual Studio Professional 2022 is quite advanced; I think it is one of the best on the market as it allows me to select features.

However, I am not sure about the safety of this setup process because everything can be improved, so it remains a question of when and how to do it, with some areas needing improvement.

Regarding the pricing aspect of Visual Studio Professional 2022, I find that there are many free and open-source tools on the market that do provide a good alternative. Even from Microsoft itself, Visual Studio Code is a very good tool that is free and open-source, so I cannot call pricing an advantage, but for open-source, it is not a disadvantage.

For professional licensing, from a developer's perspective, it has been inconvenient to track a license, request licenses, and remove software, so tracking the license itself becomes a usability performance drop.

Regarding the procurement aspect of Visual Studio Professional 2022, I download it from the Microsoft website and install it, then log in using a corporate account, and it fetches the license automatically. It connects to a license server, and in three months, if there is a bug with the license server, it can indicate that the probationary period is over, but if a license is picked up successfully, it just continues to work, so from a usability perspective, whether it is a trial period or not should be highlighted.

Regarding the Live Share feature of Visual Studio Professional 2022, I have not used Live Share. Visual Studio Code also supports Live Share, and as far as I remember, in similar scenarios, I usually use it with Teams during calls because I need to communicate with the person, and we are using chat and calls, so it is usually some meeting software such as Teams or other Google or Slack solutions.

Given my experience with Visual Studio Professional 2022, I would recommend that other organizations consider implementing test view features, which the Qt company could quite simply do in a month or two if a task is created.

Regarding edit and continue, I think that LLVM infrastructure should work on hot reload. Microsoft should start tracking use cases to ensure everything continues to work, and I see they have started moving to LLVM infrastructure as well, with Clang support for Visual Studio, which they should continue to do, moving hot reload for edit and continue into the LLVM and starting to use Clangd for IntelliSense purposes. I would rate Visual Studio Professional 2022 an overall score of five out of ten.
