- Splines 10y agoYeah - my work instance of VS is sluggish as hell, and I sometimes load up a separate instance with toy problems to prototype ideas and it's practically as light as notepad.
- BinaryIdiot 10y agoWe...may have different definitions of "flies". Yes if you disable third party plugins then it should be fast at various points in its lifecycle. At the same time it's not really that fast when you have zero plugins installed...
- alkonaut 10y agoThis might be the case - but the IDE isn't really complete withiut extensions. I need svn integration, and I need basic refactoring from R# like "move type to new file". The problem is probably that memory is crowded and plugins must do a lot in-process via COM. If Microsoft really wanted to make VS fly for a lot of people they could just add the 10% most popular features from the 10most popular extensions. It would want nothing more than to throw out R#
