There's something fishy about that.

I think that's the original Falmouth, not the Foulmouth.

Hi All,

I need to do some Windows front ends for a project, so put in a request for Vis Studio... lots of questions 'do you need it?', 'does Python do it?', 'Why can't you use VS Code?', 'Can we use the Community version?'...
Turns out the company got in to a bit O bother with Visio not so long ago... OMG | :OMG:

Think my preferred version 2008, say it still available but downloads a Power Point of it??

VS2022 Community should work just fine for you, really.
VS2022 Pro if you have a small team and will integrate with source control, etc. (DevOps, Git, etc.).
VS Code is nice to have as well.

Community has the same features as Pro.
The difference is, Community is for students, hobbyists, individuals and small teams.
Basically, five people may use VS in a company that has less than 250 computers or less than $1.000.000 (a million) annual revenue.
If you're bigger than that you need Pro (or Enterprise).

So, Community is fully featured and has all the Git and DevOps tooling you'd want Big Grin | :-D

From the website:

For individuals
Any individual developer can use Visual Studio Community to create their own free or paid apps.

For organizations
An unlimited number of users within an organization can use Visual Studio Community for the following scenarios: in a classroom learning environment, for academic research, or for contributing to open source projects.

For all other usage scenarios:
In non-enterprise organizations, up to five users can use Visual Studio Community. In enterprise organizations (meaning those with >250 PCs or >$1 Million US Dollars in annual revenue), no use is permitted beyond the open source, academic research, and classroom learning environment scenarios described above.

Best,
Sander

Community depends on what you are producing, the number of employees that will use it, and the size of the company: License Terms | Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 - Visual Studio[^]

The relevant number is "5 employees using it":

Quote:
vi. If none of the above apply, and you are also not an enterprise (defined below), then up to 5 of your individual users can use the software concurrently to develop and test your applications.

The company size limit is:

Quote:
... any organization and its affiliates who collectively have either (a) more than 250 PCs or users or (b) one million U.S. dollars (or the equivalent in other currencies) in annual revenues

Just to reiterate what has already been said, it depends on what you're doing. If it's web development or shell scripting, I can promise you that you'll have a much better experience in VS Code. If it's making a Windows app then maybe not, especially if you need a resource editor. But, even for console apps VS Code does just fine as long as you don't mind having to set up debugging, etc. yourself.

It sounds like cost is the primary concern here. If so, and as Sander and Griff had mentioned, you can use the community edition of VS for a small team. If it's a larger team the cost is $1k, which isn't that much for a company with larger teams if you think about it.

Really though, for web development... VS Code is better anyway.

I'm still using Visual C# 2010 Express on this thing here. I don't currently have any versions installed on my main PC.
I may have a VS 2008 disc somewhere, and maybe 2005.
