Change to real Visual Studio for C#. Visual Studio Code is complete garbage in comparison.
4 comments

dunno if you tried VS2026 C#, but it's worse. I have no extensions (besides the default Copilot) and it's a never ending battle of just trying to get the normal intellisense to show up. What's worst is that the copilot autocomplete suggestions fill in made up methods/properties. Why can't it look at intellisense to get the real ones?
I've switched everything except WinForms to VS Code because Visual Studio is becoming a second rate citizen. Where are the first party extensions for Claude Code or Codex? Why is GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio always weeks behind the VS Code version?
