Worst was 2010, when they tried to switch to WPF or something. It was really slow. The top versions of Visual Studio for me: VS 2022, VS 2008 and VS 2019.

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

:)
