Microsoft Visual Studio 2025. The first 5 years of mainstream support provide new features, platform updates, security updates, functionality fixes, and quality improvements. Every release there’s more functionality… as visual studio continues to grow — we’re at 25 years now — i can’t wait to see how powerful this tool is when it gets to 50.
The second 5 years of extended support provides only security updates. Visual studio code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for windows, macos and linux.
