Atmel studio or visual studio?

Hi Everyone. I've just come over to Arduino from using Microchip for 15 years. I used to program in assembly code so I'm just learning C/C++, but I'm unsure which to use - Atmel studio or visual studio. They both seem the same as they are based on Visual studio but I guess for Arduino programming one might be better than the other? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

Tom

Hi,

Visual Studio 2013 or 2015 are more modern Ide's with better code explorers, more flexible and easier installs.

Atmel 7.0 will shortly be released based on Visual Studio 2015 so that might be a better contender at that stage but we will have to wait and see.

The only current benefit of Atmel 6.2 would be if you have an avr dragon, arduino zero or some other hardware programming device that works with the native atmel debug tools but none of these options are simple for arduino projects that contain .ino files

The code that Visual Micro creates can be used in either ide so you can always change Ide at a later date.

If you install VS2015 you must remember to click "Custom" install and tick C++. In VS2015, C++ is not on by default and needed to create or open Arduino projects.

Thank you for your for expert opinion. So now I'll concentrate on getting to know Visual Studio and use that as my editor, not that I'm proficient in C++ yet, but I'm getting there  Smiley.   

Best regards,
Tom
