The difference between vscode and vs2017

vscode is a very simple text editor that takes up no more than 100m of space. But when you first install it, you can basically do nothing except typing. You need to install the plug-in yourself and set the parameters manually.

vs2017 is a comprehensive integrated development environment. The space occupied changes according to the selection (generally greater than 20G). It can be used directly after the installation is completed. Compilation tools, debugging tools, and development tools for each language are all configured and can be used out of the box.

In terms of functionality, vs2017 is much larger than vscode, but vscode is far more lightweight than vs2017. After installing the plug-in and correctly configuring it, vscode can achieve most of the basic functions of vs2017 (automatic completion, one-click compilation and connection operation, error prompts, program debugging, etc.).

Compared with vs2017, vscode has another advantage - cross-platform. vscode has windows, linux, and mac versions, and the support is pretty good, while vs2017 only has a Windows version.

About usage suggestions:

On the Windows platform, it is recommended to use codeblock when writing small programs. It is very easy to use. When writing large projects or projects that depend on Microsoft (such as C#, UWP, etc.), use vs2017 Community Edition; on Linux, just use vscode directly, it is quite easy to use.

By the way, don’t use the VS Professional version. Most of the functions in it are unusable and it’s still so big~
