Cons
Con Windows only
Visual Studio is only available on Windows, though there is now a cross-platform derivation of Visual Studio named Visual Studio Code. It is has less features and is more of a code editor than an IDE.

Visual Studio is a proprietary software.
Con Little user choice in organization
