Allows the development Microsoft products on Linux with good plugins and integrations
One of the most important things to improve is the consumption of resources, mainly memory. You also need a very powerful computer compared to Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio Enterprise. An important improvement would be the case of having more than one instance open. It is common to have more than one instance because of developing linked microservices or frontend/backend at the same time. Memory usage in this case should be optimized. The debugging of objects and their manipulation is also not optimal. Sometimes it is difficult to observe variables or very complex objects. There are also memory overflows that sometimes cause debugging to stop.
