How is Visual Studio? (kbin.social)

So I started my coding journey with Python about 2 years ago. I primarily used IDLE which was super bare bones but was perfect for my needs.

I'm now toying around with Javascript with eventual aspirations to learn C# and maybe something else (Golang maybe, C++ is intimidating). I completed codecademy.com's course on Javascript, have been running through some algo training on codewars, been playing a little BitBurner, but now I want to actually try to develop my own stuff.

Looks like Visual Studio has an environment that supports Javascript, Python, and C# in one place. How is it? What are some of the positives and negatives of choosing to use Visual Studio moving forward?

wtf were they thinking when they named these things

What's funny is that originally "visual" was the selling point in that you design your programs visually rather than through code. With the naming of VS code, they've gone full circle. It's a video game adaptation of a movie adaptation of a video game.
