This release brings AI woven directly into the developer workflow, performance improvements that reset expectations for speed at enterprise scale, and a modern design that makes the environment feel lighter and more focused.
For first time, VS Code stepping up against Cursor and Zed? Love seeing the competition heat up—anything that pushes better dev tools is a win for my late-night coding marathons. Curious if we’ll get some slicker AI integrations soon.....
Deep integration with the native Windows and .NET ecosystem. When building desktop software with WinUI 3, having first-class diagnostics, memory profiling, and robust debugging out of the box beats having to stitch together dozens of loose extensions in VS Code.
I wanted a native Windows development experience with strong C# and WinUI 3 support. Visual Studio's debugging tools, XAML tooling, and Windows App SDK integration made it a great fit for building Dynamic Edge.

Given competitor from @Cursor , @Windsurf , and @Zed — does VS Code have a chance to catch up?
