Visual Studio is as objectively as possible not a bad IDE. If you have unlimited budget and are only doing C# and DotNet, only benefit of VS Code is start up performance. Of course for just about anything else VS Code is as good as Visual Studio.

Can't speak to how prod ready this is, would never use a major upgrade like this in production within the first 6 months of it's release. Bless those who have the way but that's madness to me.

F# programmer here. I still find VS superior to anything on VS Code, and a lot of people prefer the VS Code Ionide F# IDE.

Most importantly I could do everything in F# I need to do (or can do in VS), debugging, refactoring, interactive tests, on the free Community Edition of VS. It just happens I use Professional because my company pays for the license.
