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.
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.
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.....

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