If they had moved to 64-bit a decade ago when it was obvious that they needed to do so, they would have never developed this reputation for being unusably slow and kludgy.

The Chief Architect of Visual Studio mentioned on the VS 2022 launch event that they were planning to migrate it earlier, but according to telemetry data - just the past 2-3 years people started to use 64 bit operating systems et mass :)
Btw I would love to see percentage of programmers who have families and children broken down by:
1. Ones using IDE like Visual Studio, Eclipse, Rider, etc. 2. Ones using IDE-ish editors like VS Code, Sublime 3. Ones using vim/emacs
:)
This is what happens when you blindly trust telemetry when the target group of a product is the most likely to disable it because of company policy or personal preference.
