It's frustrating that Microsoft is putting resources into Visual Studio 2022 when their current version, 2019 never really got out of the Alpha stage.

In particular, things that really should take microseconds can take minutes. E.g., just starting the fucking editor

Virtually every feature seems closer to a MVP implemetation; nowhere near the "good enough" stage

Just my opinion

It's not just an opinion - VS2019 is noticeably slower than VS2017.

My opinion is that there is something else wrong if your editor takes minutes to open.

I know very few people that routinely have major issues with VS. It's not perfect, but it's a really good IDE to use and to be really productive given the appropriate workload.

Mine takes about a minute to open. It is good once open until I try to debug an asp.net application - then it slows down. Its even worse if one of Microsofts default app monitoring/reporting library kicks in during debugging - lots of realtime graphing et al that I never asked for.

I hope VS 2022 works out but I am concerned about load.
