    It's an IDE. One of the top in terms of features. And compared to similarly featured IDEs it's not slower. Don't like it? Use Notepad.

    I love VS, and because I'm a whining little bitch I've got a awesome computer that can cope perfectly fine with >= 5 project solution, ssms, a VM, devRant and a debugging session for an incredibly bugged piece of software coded by me.

    @Artemix Refactoring, richest debugging available in the industry, code navigation and real-time decompiling, coming up with class diagrams, data diagrams, offering a GUI-based ORM mapping, very clear code suggestions, very clear package manager, easily create files based on very rich templates, offer code suggestions across languages, etc.
    Which other IDE offers all of that and is faster?

    @Artemix what? ReSharper? It's a plug-in, not an IDE.

    @Artemix Rider? It's still in beta, and it doesn't even come close to what VS offers. I started playing it since day 1. At first it off incredibly slow, had fewer features than Visual Studio Code with some plugins.

    The thing that makes VS so good is that it has a lot of very good project templates. And you can download more. It's like having a boilerplate repository, but you don't have to google for it, and check out from the repo, which makes it easier. Also Rider is just C#. It's not much different from other C# IDEs out there, like Xamarin Studio or SharpDevelop. Sure, with a few more JetBrains magic. But I've had it with JetBrains lately. Extremely heavy IDE that easily takes up way more than 1Gb of RAM.

    So if you think VS is heavy, wait till you open up those projects with Rider when it's done.
