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 have made the decision to completely switch from full studio to vs code for my c# development about a year ago. and I haven't regretted it so far. I work in a company that has a lot of microservices so I tend to switch between projects often.

And with the C# dev kit they just released setting vs code up for c# development is no effort.

I also recently started using profiles more in vs code to quickly switch between c# and web development, and I'm a fan.
