    Felgo
    Chose Felgo
    As I was already a C++ and Qt developer, Felgo was obvious choice over other tools. Also its cross-platform solutions for mobile apps and Qt's ability to provide cross-platform tool for all other devices makes this perfect choice.

    Felgo has the shortest learning curve making the teams productive almost from week 1.
    It also has easy tooling with fast iterations without having long compile and deployment times.
    So far, we believe that this product was a good fit to our current talent and resources.

    Felgo
    Felgo shines in rapid prototype development and fast iterations. It also has a very short learning curve compared to many other technologies that promise "code once, deploy everywhere." It is not appropriate if you are not willing to mess with the licensing related to Qt but I am still waiting for a clear answer on my doubts from the Felgo team.

    Microsoft Visual Studio Code is highly recommended for the development of systems and / or complex applications entrusted to work teams under a specific methodology, and its use is also recommended for the maintenance of previously developed applications.
    It is not recommended as a learning environment for developers with little experience as the learning curve would be too high

    • Very accessible -- it's compatible with all platforms and environments, free to install, and fast to open
    • Strong native support for many languages, and very strong extensibility to provide advanced language features
    • Git integration is top-notch, often displaying a better history, diff, and merge interface that is otherwise available in version control systems

    Microsoft
    • Lack of button bar like ones found in Visual Studio.
    • Lack of integrated help that could link to YouTube, Channel 9, or other Microsoft videos on how to learn about features.
    • Integration with Team Foundation Server.
    • Would like to see it having some sort of integration into a Web API testing harness.

    I am happy with the constant feedback that I am receiving from the team. Although most of it is marketing related, there are some interesting and valuable materials that they have been pushing to ease my learning.

    The quality of the documentation and the ease of use may be some important values to take into account.

    We believe that the agility that we have acquired until now for developing apps for our business cases give this framework an important lead.

    Solid tool that provides everything you need to develop most types of applications. The only reason not a 10 is that if you are doing large distributed teams on Enterprise level, Professional does provide more tools to support that and would be worth the cost.

    Usability
    Felgo
    As with any product, Felgo has some edges to it, but from our past experiences evaluating "code once, deploy everywhere" platforms, we were really surprised at how fast the team went from exploring, into playing and presenting prototypes in very little time.

    The dev cycle is really fast as I can get an almost instantaneous feedback on the changes that I make. And it is refreshing to see how I am able to target several platforms at once.

    The javascript plus QML combination made it really easy to pick up for me and I am certain sure that many devs can migrate from Web only into multi-platform in a fast manner.

    And there is also the possibility to implement C++ code if the need arises to support and bridge native libraries.

    Looking at our current implementation, Microsoft Visual Studio Code is perfect for writing code and performing debug operations. Integration with SVN repository is easy and changes can be tracked effectively. Microsoft Visual Studio Code supports developers to write code productively using syntax check and easy customization. Microsoft Visual Studio Code also provides support for IntelliSense which prompts suggestions for code completion. It is easy to step through code using interactive debugger to inspect the root cause of error quickly.

    Active development means filing a bug on the GitHub repo typically gets you a response within 4 days. There are plugins for almost everything you need, whether it be linting, Vim emulation, even language servers (which I use to code in Scala). There is well-maintained official documentation. The only thing missing is forums. The closest thing is GitHub issues, which typically has the answers but is hard to sift through -- there are currently 78k issues.

    The helpful, responsive customer support. In contrast to frameworks like Flutter, you can count on a professional team that can help you out if needed

    [Microsoft] Visual Studio Code beats the competition due to its extensibility. Their robust extensions architecture combined with the plethora of mostly free extensions written by the community can't be beaten. The fact that this tool itself is provided by a world-recognized company, Microsoft, free of charge is phenomenal. The goodwill garnered by them is immeasurable. Other tools I've used were missing features or were just too rigid, too complicated, or too unsophisticated for my liking. The fact that VS Code is easy to mold to my will with the right extensions seals the deal.
