What do you think of Visual Studio?
I like it.

I don't do anything productive, but I've heard from people who do that it's pretty good

The IDE is to god damn bloated to be able to be used properly, and more importantly the thing is a fucking botnet to say the least.

wow, look at all those memes
Decent autocompletion considering how parsing C++ is a full-strength industrial nightmare, and one of the best symbolic debuggers in existence.
Not good enough to make me go back to Windows, though. I miss it occasionally, when I'm knee deep in a gdb session and close to scratching my eyes out, but in general anything that isn't Windows is a nicer programming environment.

I was alarmed with the whole signing in malarkey they added, but you can just, you know, not sign in.

Its what I use at school for C/C++ its a standard in the industry. I dont care about IDEs
>>51268835
VS Code is all I need.
>>51268385
i went from monodevelop to vs15 for the c++ support. Basic things that md does well like context aware syntax highlighting and reference searches vs is terrible at, and i cant believe a major ide could be so bad at these in the current year.
That being said theres alot of useful looking stuff in the vs bloat, i just havnt got round to using any of it yet.

It's the better C# IDE, too bad it's bloated
I currently use the professional 2013 version for work. Is there any version of 2013+ that doesn't require a licence?
Well, i usually just use sublime + whatever package managemer/compiler feature that comes with the language i'm using, but i'm trying to switch to VS Code, because i don't want a 5gB installation of VS proper
using visual studio ultimate 2013, feels good man
>>51268385
It works ok but it's extremely bloated (6GB+ unwanted adware) and you need Internet Explorer 11 installed to register the "free" Community Edition
I recently switched to Xamarin Studio because of it and won't go back

Visual Studio is literally the best IDE out there for REAL programmers. Add a vim plugin and it's godlike.
anything other than vim is bloat
the newer VS is the shittier it is
2015 is unbearable
>>51269556
vim is bloated as fuck
>>51269556
> not vi
VS is a great IDE for python.
I think as far as IDE's go, it's probably the best. It certainly has the best debugger. That said, since I don't really know what all of the tools do in an IDE, I find it hard to use something like this over Sublime Text with a separate compiler.

Extremely bloated, but pretty good IDE.

Apparently all complaints come either from people running toasters (protip, it should only take a second or two to boot) or from social outcasts who get triggered at the sight of social integration.

VS is literally free, you only have to pay if you want enterprise plugins that you'll never use as a normal user.
As for the book, your own ass fault for not reading a recommended book.

Its called 2015 community version.
>>51268385
Its what we use in my c++ class, so its all I know. Its error descriptions are ok so far at least. Loads ass slow.

>not hiding the search bar

>>51268385
it's shit.
>>51272161
I use it to search for stuff, why would I hide it?
Acrobat just works, it's fast and the text rendering is good. What should I use, Sumatra? If it's not broken don't fix it, that's why you fags are so unproductive, instead of doing stuff you worry about the best software for loading pdfs.
>>51272211
>I use it to search for stuff, why would I hide it?
Because you have to click on it. I find it way easier to just hit the windows key and search from there.
It's pretty good
Another plus is that it triggers neckbeards and hipsters for little to no reason other than being a microsoft product
>>51272211
sumatra will make you more productive if you have PDF textbooks
If they port it to Linux I may try it. Otherwise, no real desire for an IDE right now.
I use it to learn visual basic on at uni.
>>51268385
40 GB of bloat.

This guy nailed it.
I think I might run linux as my main with a windows vm for visual studio
