Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.
Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Eclipse IDE vs Microsoft Visual Studio: 2026 Comparison
Pricing available upon request
per month
and Demo
Features
- I’ve appreciated the flexibility of plugins and the ability to customize the workspace depending on the task or prototype I was working on.
- The only downsides I've found are its heavy resource usage (an editor like Notepad++ is much lighter) and a somewhat outdated user interface.
- With support for various code bases, as well as HTML, the programme provides all you need for building and developing websites, email, applications and widgets.
- I have nothing that I specifically dislike about Visual Studio. If I had to choose one item it would be the fact that a user could feel "forced" to start using MS Copilot by virtue of it being so integrated into the latest versions of VS.
