lots of good examples of why this is wrong here: https://floooh.github.io/2019/09/27/modern-c-for-cpp-peeps.h...

The thing I've struggled to achieve in VS is using spaces to align function arguments split across multiple lines to the open parenthesis in a file that uses tabs for regular indentation. I'd be pleased to find out I'm wrong though :)

I've been using this fulltime for a few months so I can provide some perspective from real-world experience:

Firstly, on speed, I really recommend giving it a try. There's things like launch time / time to syntax highlighting which are nice to have and make it a joy to use but then there's things like instant 'Find References' and workspace search that I think contribute to a qualitative difference to the way I work - I simply would not use these features as much or in the same way if they took seconds (as they do in VS).

Seen some discussion comparing to things like Sublime - 10x understands c++ code much much better than sublime and that's crucial for making some of its best features like 'Rename' and 'Find references' work so well.

The other thing I think is worth mentioning is just how active and responsive the developer is. Bug-fixes and improvements often get implemented within hours of reporting. As an example, I've always been annoyed by how impossible it is to make VS do 'tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment' - after a brief discussion, this got sorted in 10x quickly. I think that's a serious advantage over Visual Studio, that often has annoying issues/bugs languishing for literally years.
