Notwithstanding the immense popularity of the Visual Studio Code programmer’s editor, the Visual Studio IDE is still at the heart of Microsoft’s development toolchain strategy. More than 25 years of evolution have brought us a customizable development environment that goes a long way beyond the original common UI for a set of development tools.Today Visual Studio is a single application that dynamically loads the tools and languages needed to build your project. You can preconfigure toolchains, as well as pick and mix the features that help you deliver code. The result is a flexible development environment that supports modern development models, including remote development and shared code.
