How is Visual Studio? (kbin.social)

So I started my coding journey with Python about 2 years ago. I primarily used IDLE which was super bare bones but was perfect for my needs.

I'm now toying around with Javascript with eventual aspirations to learn C# and maybe something else (Golang maybe, C++ is intimidating). I completed codecademy.com's course on Javascript, have been running through some algo training on codewars, been playing a little BitBurner, but now I want to actually try to develop my own stuff.

Looks like Visual Studio has an environment that supports Javascript, Python, and C# in one place. How is it? What are some of the positives and negatives of choosing to use Visual Studio moving forward?

I actually like to use different environments depending on what I'm doing. I tend to use SublimeText with custom build systems for embedded dev. I use VS when I need to use it, for stuff like Marlin firmware, it's much better than it was when I started. I find that I really like PyCharm for python work. It makes a lot of things just really nice and easy for debugging and the like.

All that said, if you want one environment to rule them all, you could do worse than something like VS or VS Code, especially if you're interested in primarily MS oriented apps.

I have ADHD so I like to try to cut down on the tools so I don't get overwhelmed. Happy that works for you!

That's funny, I'm ADHD as well, the context helps me feel a little more in control and helps me sort things out a little better. ADHD is weird.
