Why does visual studio take so long to uninstall? Is it because they want to give me time to hit that cancel button?

Because it also takes forever to install

@Krokoklemme my biggest struggle was to
- install,
- realize it was the wrong version,
- uninstall,
- install the right one,
- try to load my project and realize I had the wrong framework,
- installed the right framework,
- visual studio kept complaining
- gave up

@eskizo guys like you make me wonder: where are you all getting your problems from? The biggest issue I ever had with VS was a broken IntelliSense (which I "fixed" by restarting it)

But tbf: I've only been using VS since VS2015 (used other IDEs before), so I might be lacking the experience

Ohhh, and welcome to devRant ^^

@Krokoklemme I think that my problem was years on Linux and having to switch back to Windows because of work, that made me a bit grumpy and lazy but I will get over it.

Personally i like c# and i kind of like visual studio 2013 ish 15 after that though. Shame on Microsoft.

@eskizo I really have no idea how you guys come up with such ridiculous stuff. If one installs the latest VS, there are no problems whatsoever. Otherwise it might not like working with a solution made by a newer version.

It really looks like you are making it all up or have no idea what you're doing.

And the fact that it takes long to install is due to either having to download everything, or/and you have selected every single platform, language and emulator in existence.

Because literally from project properties you can choose ANY .NET framework as target, and there is no such thing as "wrong framework version and I have to reinstall". Unless you installed an old version that doesn't come with the newest SDK, in which case it's your fault.

It just crashes a lot during the process but the uninstaller is probably the one thing Microsoft figured out how to restart properly.
