I find it's not as turn key as Visual Studio. It has a lot of the same, or even better and different functionality, but if I'm opening and new solution, 99/100 times if I want to run it immediately without tinkering it'll be in Visual Studio. I love code for the extensions, but Visual Studio still feels easier to get something up and running in.
I find the opposite to be true. We’ve been a C# shop for decades, but with python and JavaScript creeping in, we’re just so used to clis.
Visual Studio does a lot of things, but the truth is that we never use them. Well except for Linq-To-Sql which is ironically removed from the standard setup because Microsoft considers it bad practice. Five years ago we downgraded from Enterprise to Professional, exactly because what we do 95% of the time is to build from an empty project without using any of the bling. To be fair, some of the bling like GitHub and docker integration have gotten fairly good, but because they were so bad for so long we simply got used to using them outside of Visual Studio.
I suspect that in 5 years we’ll be going from Professional to Visual Studio Code. I hope so, but things like intellisense just isn’t there yet.
