Question: Are any of these options Portable Apps-compliant? (I know Visual Studio isn't. VS Code itself has a semi-portable version.) If not, then they are non-starters for me. I use portable apps almost exclusively for nearly all new applications. I don't install anything on my system drive if I can avoid it.
Portable Apps is not cloud software. It's local software that runs in a portable fashion (i.e. not installed with a traditional installer), hearkening back to the MS-DOS era where an entire product ran within its own subdirectory and didn't touch anything else on the system.

Most developer apps these days are portable in the sense that you can pass the arg/env to point them to any directory outside system, but people don't really care anymore. I stopped caring about this after university when I stopped using library computers.
Asking if VS is portable doesn't really make sense given that the thing you develop with it (.Net) isn't.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

You can go for the clouds then.

I meant as we don't have any portable app available in the options you can go with cloud ones as the dont mess around with your local drives
