Pros/Cons
Pros
The greatest advantage I get from Visual Studio is the ease of starting and running a fresh project.
Having the ability to do things like code analysis to see what things need to be done better has helped us improved our software quality.
Cons
The only con to Visual studio is its User interface as it becomes very boring to code on an interface which has no plugins and drag and drops options.
Sometimes, Visual Studio lags and you need to restart the software to solve this problem, also sometimes when you run the software it can be slow and not as fast as you think.
Pros
The hotkeys and shortcuts are also very helpful. I would recommend this product to beginner python software developers and data analysts whom use python.
It works great on Windows as well as Linux based systems. It is great for handling big data, data wrangling, running models, and data visualization for academic purposes.
Cons
First off, it sometimes feels heavy and slow, particularly when handling big datasets. The process of writing code can be slowed down by its occasionally sluggish and inaccurate autocomplete feature.
Limited to python only and the UI is not up to the mark.
