What makes it so good and why isn't there a FOSS alternative that compares?

Money, it's a tool made by microsoft for their own developers they have constant and direct feedback and know their own needs.

Free software (TradeMark) developers orgasm every time they open vim and the terminal, they refuse to use IDEs because it's bloated software so they don't have an integrated development enviroment.

You can start debugging line by line without setting breakpoints like in gdb

It doesn't break randomly like Qt frontend for gdb does. It literally just works and has nice features, like printing vectors and things in a nice format.

Use it, then use gdb and realize that GNU/communists are inbred retarded monkeys.

if ur brain is not the best debugger then u should die

stay woke

>what makes it so good
It is nothing compared to a properly setup emacs

name one thing emacs does that VS doesn't

Run lisp code

I meant something useful

Doesn't inject telemetry

Next!

then just use it as an editor and debugger but compile with gcc / mono

It doesn't just inject it also comes with. Besides anything from jetbrains destorys Microsoft

Yeah Jetbrains is good but fuck off with your "emacs is better" bullshit, there's a reason nobody uses it.

I really like to use it with nsight for weird shit that no one here gives a fuck about.

its called netbeans

Because when you know how to code you know that you don't need a debugger. VS is a good debugger, but FOSS world don't need a good debugger.

Go fix your bugs.

LLDB is top quality material, but I'm not sure if there's a FOSS front end. If you're not anal about this, there's IntelliJ platform IDEs that work with it.

I guess the debugger is nice and it has features that make it worthwhile in some professional environments, but if you need a solid IDE for hobbyist shit Qt Creator or even Emacs will do a much more serviceable job.

oh, and also
