Thanks for sharing, didn't know this was still as bad as you describe. Despite having a considerable amount of template code as well we don't have problems to the degree you mention - especially not in the debugger (but only when compiled in debug without optimizations, not in release, but that's sort of expected). We do use VS2017 though, and basically ditched VAssistX after moving to it because the built-in intellisesne was good enough. It's not like literally everything works, but it's usable enough. Apart from that I also have an impression, not measurable, that since a couple of years using auto we somehow got used to it and don't have to rely on intellisense etc. Sounds like a contradiction, and might not have anything to do with auto but just C++ in general or even just the team becoming better, but it's like the code is more generic and cares less about exact types but still has less bugs because it's easier to reason about.
