VS + Resharper (or better yet + VsVim) is a miles better experience next on the list after VS would be Rider, then VScode... I cannot remember the last time Vs crashed, a bit slower to open, but percentage wise, I spend hardly any time opening it. Extensions are sort of more involved to set up, but it's not that hard to do. It uses a bunch of resources, but I have lots of resources for it, settings don't seem too out of the ordinary, like most things, it just works out of the box and has a deep set of settings to customize it.

Resharper absolutely tanks my performance. Not only does it slow down cold start by ~5x, it introduces input lag on each keystroke. Back in VS2013, R# was indispensable, but with VS2017 the only feature I miss is namespace refactoring. It's also clunky how it gives you effectively two IDEs with two databases mushed into a single window. I'm trying to wean myself onto VS code now (with vim keybindings), but being forced to stay in a single window is tough to swallow.

I keep being disappointed by performance on InteliJ products. Maybe because I don't have 16 GB, Xeons with SSD at my disposal? So far Eclipse and Netbeans still outperform them, unless I turn on laptop mode and disable the majority of plugins.
