Microsoft's Visual Studio vs Light Table

Javascript Intellisense allows Visual Studio to provide you with useful hints and auto-completion features while you code.

Visual Studio has a clean, intuitive user interface.

Your Visual Studio online account gives you a place to store your code, backlog, and other project data with no servers to deploy, configure, or manage.

In agile development teams, one really needs features such as product backlogs where you can assign features to teammates and track their progress on them. VS provides a web-based interface for you to track your team's complete progress on the project.

Syntax highlighting, Intellisense, and jump to declaration all work in XML documents.

With LT's inline evaluation, you don't have to re-compile your whole source file. Each time you want to see an output, all you have to do is hover your cursor over the line you'd like to evaluate and press ctrl+enter; LT will evaluate that line of code for you.

The "Watches" feature lets you see your code running live as you type it. This means that you can debug your code live while writing it, which leads to considerably less programming errors.

LT has a plugin manager built directly inside of it. This plugin manager connects to LT's own registry of plugins, so whenever you want assistance while writing your HTML, JS, or even Python, just open up the plugin manager, search for it, and click the little install button beside it's name. Your plugin will then be installed.
