Microsoft Visual Studio, is Microsoft's idea of an integrated development environment, bundling their somewhat useful Visual BASIC and Visual C++ products -- which merely include support of the Windows API to the virtual exclusion of all other runtime environments -- with their dreadful Visual C#, and Visual J# languages, which compiled into Common Intermediate Language (CIL), the idiotic interpreted re-invention of the Java wheel that formed the basis of Microsoft's aborted .NET Framework..
Early version of Visual Studio included Visual InterDev for cobbling together Active Server Pages; Microsoft's Java rip-off, Visual J++; and Visual FoxPro, a decent xBase-oriented language Microsoft acquired and ditched.
UNIX© is generally preferred by developers, including most of those in Redmond.
