You'd think keeping settings between versions would be something they would try to get right. I exported mine from 22 and tried to import them... No luck, but I only change a few things anyway. I think there's some feature to cloud save your settings, I haven't figured it out.
That said, I've been using insiders as my daily driver for a few weeks now and had just normal vs problems, so I can't complain too much.
Okay, Visual Studio 26 still has poor color contrast in some areas (specifically, menus, lists, and other "regular" UI elements as opposed to the actual code editing area)
But credit where credit is due, they have a LOT more themes and a LOT more variety. Visual Studio used to allow you three color themes: light, dark, and blue. Now, they have all sorts of colors like green and pink.
BUT (maybe because it's an an insider build?) it didn't get added to my start menu or anything so I have to launch it by going to the visual studio version manager (now called the "installer" even though that's just one of the things it does)
It also reset my fonts again, but that's just expected at this point.
