Has anyone used Visual Studio for Salesforce? Currently, I'm using Eclipse for that but it is very heavy and slows down my PC.

The alternative seems to be mavensmate but now it seems, it is not available.

Also, Salesforce has recently released beta version of Visual Studio Code Extension and there are already lot of other extensions available like mavensmate, Apex Code Editor for Visual Studio Code, ForceCode, Visual Studio Code Extension Pack for Salesforce DX. Is it really good alternative of Eclipse?

  • It's also worth looking at Illuminated Cloud (a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA). illuminatedcloud.com My team just moved from MavensMate to IC. It is being actively developed (e.g. SF DX support was recently added) and works really well for us. It costs $65 as a one-off, but that's peanuts really, if you like it. Having spoken to people inside SF, their intention is to support an ecosystem of tools such as IC, as well as doing whatever they are doing with VS Code.
