Pros

  • Great coding envirionment
  • Allows for easy and direct deployment
  • It's great for searching all of the code in a project to determine where a variable may be used.

Cons

  • It would be nice if IDE feature releases were timed to coincide with Salesforce releases (i.e. make Lightning Web Components available on the day they become available in Salesforce instances).
  • The IDE can be a bit buggy especially when you have several windows of the IDE open to different Salesforce instances at the same time on one machine.
  • Sometimes, when you click to retrieve your data too soon, before the program has a chance to ask you to connect to the instance, it can cause the IDE to freeze.

Return on Investment

  • I have probably saved about three hours, on larger projects.
  • It has definitely saved me the overhead of having to work with other IDEs that have heavier setup requirements.

Pros

  • Local History - Without having to setup GitHub this has been a time saver!
  • AutoComplete
  • Saves the entire project at once

Cons

  • The Field-Level Security editor - I haven't been able to get this to successfully work on a project after going through their documentation.

Return on Investment

  • The ability to recover and compare to local history
  • Reliable vs. open source alternatives!
