While I'm of the opinion that tinkering away with a Raspberry Pi is inherently a great thing, developing for a minimalistic piece of nearly open source hardware running an open source OS using software as bloated and proprietary as Visual Studio really rubs me the wrong way.

In fact, that purely depends on your goals. If you're just tinkering around, the text editor or something simple like CodeBlocks or KDevelop is probably fine.
If you are doing a bigger project where productivity becomes a must and spending time on doing the same routine things over and over becomes annoying - an IDE as powerful as Visual Studio can be a really good investment...
