Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 1. It is a solid and robust IDE for software development. 2. It has language support for almost all the programming languages like C, C++, Java, Python and JavaScript. 3. The community version is free to use for personal use. 4. It has a lot of room for extension support and integrations.
  • The Eclipse IDE is a fairly simple IDE that has many features and plugins, making it a great option for both professional and amateur programmers. I have used multiple IDEs over the years, and I personally think that for the price of ZERO dollars, it’s a fabulous option. The ability to have so many different languages makes it very flexible for those programmers who don’t just program a single language. The user base if very large, so it is easy to get help learning the software.
  • 1. Open source programming editor tool. 2. It worked for multiple programming languages (like, PHP, Java, Python, .Net) and operating system. 3. Simple layout, no complex options are provided. 4. Easily integrate with Maven. 5. Advanced debugging options 6. Good project management. 7. Easily integration of the Version Control System, GIT. 8. Boot up time is short compared to other IDE. 9. Features extension by plugins 10. Simple, which makes development fast. 11. Error notification feature is awesome and very helpful. 12. Integration with Jenkins.
  • 1. I learnt whole Java using Eclipse IDE, it was very easy for me to use it, 2. You get code suggestions as you type the code, making it easier to do coding, 3. Compilation errors are shown instantly when you write the code, like it always tells you if any variable can hold null value or if any unused import or variable is present or if any variable has not been initialized, 4. You can easily integrate SonarLint, JUnit, Cobertura etc.,
  • It is open-source with support for a lot of plugins that help you expand the scope of the IDE. It provides a single window to build your application - coding with auto completion, debugging, and even testing and deploying. I like that we can integrate Eclipse with third-party apps like GitHub, which is quite helpful. Plus, it's free!

Cons

  • 1. The user interface of the application is a bit outdated. 2. It consumes a lot of RAM while running.
  • There are some clunky things with the software. Back when I was taking a college course, my group and I had finished a piece of code and it was working on everyone’s machine but mine. (Even tho we all had the same version of eclipse, and had simply pulled the code down from GitHub). We even tried to just copy and paste but it didn’t work. I eventually had to go clear some cache in the system folders and reinstall the software before it would work.
  • According to my real life experience, there is nothing to dislike. Everything looks good.
  • If it includes Artificial Intelligence also like IntelliJ IDEA , then it will be a complete package.
  • It takes up a lot of CPU usage to run making it slow. Sometimes it also crashes while working, which can be annoying. The UI isn't beginner-friendly either, and the software support is limited.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I have used Visual Studio Code mainly for automation scripting and day to day code updates and I like that it is lightweight, easy to navigate, and supports useful extensions. It makes it convenient to manage scripts, terminal commands and quick debugging in one place
  • Lightweight and very fast Excellent extensions for HTML, CSS, JSON, schema, Markdown Makes debugging tracking scripts much easier Powerful search across folders and files Free and works smoothly even on low systems
  • Linux, macOS, and Windows are among the operating systems that Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is compatible with. Its cross-platform compatibility makes it a flexible option for developers working in various contexts.
  • 1. It has an excellent set of tools for debugging and testing the code. 2. It can be customized heavily from the settings or from the configuration files. 3. Furthermore, it has a lot of extensions available on the extension store to increase the features and functionality of the code editor. 4. It supports all the major programming languages and frameworks. 5. It is extremely light on the system.
  • Best free IDE that i have used so far. It is very light weight in terms of memory utilisation and works smooth on my Mac Book PRO. I really like the window splitting feature and renaming my terminal tabs. I can run my different environments in different named tabs.

Cons

  • One issue I have seen is that it can slow down a bit when too many extensions are installed or when the project becomes large
  • Slight learning curve if you’ve never seen code editors Too many extensions can become confusing Not beginner-friendly on day one without YouTube help
  • VS Code could be thought to be less efficient for really big projects when compared to more complex IDEs. Nevertheless, the size and complexity of any project will determine this.
  • It does not have dedicated build tools available on the options and to use that the user has to use command in the terminal.
  • Although the features are great, one feature that i really miss out on this IDE is the use of GIT. E.g. if it does not support a GUI to resolve merge conflicts. It is handy for updating the repo but not that flexible for resolving conflicts.
