Anecdotally, I've been using Visual Studio mostly regularly since the original ".NET Version" of Visual Studio (~2002), and I'm increasingly closing it and just using VS Code and the dotnet command line tools. Visual Studio is definitely starting to feel its age/weight and between all the C# 10 language features (finally) removing boilerplate (things like namespace statements and global usings), I'm often feeling more productive in VS Code than in full Visual Studio. For hobby projects I've moved entirely to VS Code even for .NET.

I'm inclined to imagine that with extensions like SSH remoting in VS Code you'd probably have a better Raspberry Pi deployment and debugging experience in VS Code than in Visual Studio, if you gave it a chance.
