I recently started an amazing position where we are using VSTS. I say it's amazing because they really just want to reboot their whole enterprise application effort and they told me that they want Microsoft and the cloud.
So we are using VSTS, Azure, Azure Active Directory .NET Core, EF Core, Web API, SQL Server and React (?). Yes, MS is supporting Angular and React in .NET Core projects but they use TypeScript.
We are a small group and are leveraging VSTS as much as possible at this time: task and SW bug management, Git-based source control, builds and deployments to Azure. Like someone else here said, VSTS works very well with Azure. VSTS allows you to link source control branches with tasks and bugs. We still use an issue management system for tracking issues the the whole company so we can track non sw bugs (like pencil sharpener is full !!) but for sw bugs we keep them in VSTS.
If you're going to use VSTS, I recommend that you use Git. In fact, if you code anything, I recommend that you use Git. I will leave that there and if you want more info, let me know.
Another great benefit of VSTS is that being SaaS, it doesn't require VPN. I love not having to connect to VPN nor bringing my laptop home to do something. I just log onto VSTS/Azure on a different computer and I'm on my way. And we are using Azure Active Directory, so we SSO w/ our Active directory account, and we're in, and we are using that for our new enterprise apps. Again, allowing users to log on from anywhere w/o VPN and w/ any OS because everything we are writing now is SaaS.

The ability to work seamlessly from home is one I had completely forgotten about and would be a huge benefit. We do sometimes work from home over a VPN which is a pain the a** so this is would be a massive plus

Our 3 man group is slowly moving away from VSTS to Bitbucket. They both have good integration with VS2017 (VSTS a little better of course).
The main reason was integration with AWS for one of our devs. The rest of our stuff is windows desktop/service and embedded device code, so it didn't matter to us one way or the other what repository was used, as long as it was all in one location.
Since I'm part of the embedded/ desktop side, I still compile locally and deploy manually (this is custom software per machine ) so I'm sorry I haven't had a need to figure out how build and release on the cloud

In Jamaica, a slice of apple pie is 427.56 Jamaican Dollars. In the Bahamas, it will cost you US$2.64. These are the Pie Rates of the Caribbean.

No. A pi rate is $3.14.

Although you post these knightly you probably shouldn't depp your toes in these waters. Pie Rates can be very dangerous and Pi Rates are always irrational.
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.

No don't worry this is not Soapbox stuff, it is not about those Americans...
It's about The Americans, the TV show. It takes place in the last decade of the Cold War, where a couple of Russian spies are embedded into US society as a bunch "regular guys". Last nights episode was called "Do mail robots dream of electric sheep?". You gotta love references like that. I find the series quite enjoyable, have you watched it?

I would not call it plagiarism. It is a rather obvious reference [to the novel].

I said plagiarism, not copyright infringement.

Hmmm, might be interesting, but I don't think we have it over here in Holland. It was on Belgian TV years ago apparently.
