Visual studios' features

One great feature of visual studio is the auto-fill and auto formatting called Intellisense, A great example is the way visual studios gives you a list of attributes and variables you've made if you enter or double click on a attribute it'll format it as an attribute.

Another example of this auto fill tech is when you reference something using a "." it will give you names of possible next steps and if it's a method and you open a bracket it will close the bracket automatically.


For languages like html and xaml that use tags<> and closing tags</> intellisense will make a closing tag automatically.


To summarize this post section the 2 main reasons use visual studios is the amount of compatible languages and the Intellisense auto filler and auto formatter.
