Old is a relative term. Could you share some hardware and OS details?

  • CPU
  • Memory
  • Storage
  • Operating System

Visual Code shouldn't have a heavy requirement.

If you need something on terminals, I'd suggest learning VIm and extensions for it.

CPU (I think processor) - 1,60 ghz
Memory - 8 gbs
Storage - 51 gbs left, but it was 141gbs.
OS - Windows.
I already had VS code twice, the problem is that it requires a lot of storage and sometimes it crashes.

That's interesting. Visual Code claims it takes less than 500 MB of disk space (without extensions, of course): https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/requirements

I'd check if it really takes up a lot (how much is a lot) of space or maybe something else is going on.

You shouldn't have it multiple times though. Once should be enough and you can use it for various projects. You don't need a new installation per project.

I don't know what's going on too. VIM is running perfectly fine, so I just sticked to it for the few months. The problem is, that sometimes I wanna code with Java, I don't know how  to execute the code in the terminal.

I tried multiple methods the internet told me to, but none of them worked.

And my second problem with VIM is i don't know how I can copy paste from file to file. When I have to copy a code i usually copy it inside of notepad, name the file "somename.py" and put the file inside my VIM folder, so I can open it up. I tried to look it up on youtube the shortest way possible, but all of them needed plugins and everything.
I last tried vscode 1 month ago, it always crashed, but I didn't removed the useless extensions, like "C/C++ code runner" or whatever is it, and the themes. At the time I was very obsessed with themes, and VScode ended up eating 1gb of storage from my computer. I might reinstall VScode and remove all the extensions.

  • C#, hands down.
  • C# has Visual Studio, the best IDE in the market. Although Visual Studio supports many other programming languages, it really shines with C#.
  • Visual Studio's features are too numerous to mention, but I'll highlight some of the most important ones.
  • IntelliSense. ...
  • Debugger.
