I have been using Visual Studio for the past couple of years. Even though I have frustrations with it, it is still my preferred IDE. I tried others such as Eclipse and Netbeans and they have grown through the years as well. I grew fond of Visual Studio after I got more comfortable with .net Framework. It felt more friendly to me so much that I got more into using .net than Java for Home/hobbyist Coding.
The next update for Visual Studio is coming and C# interests me. The supposed better loading times and modularity is something I want to test. When I tried Visual Studio 2017 RC, I liked the installation process and the UI changes on the debug tool and start page. I don’t normally advocate everyone to try the new version of an IDE quickly but Visual Studio 2017’s visible improvements makes me recommend it for hobbyist coding.
