I use Visual Studio to wrangle giant enterprisey C# applications, but I still use find+grep/Emacs for browsing code quickly. Visual Studio is a long way off from matching the simple blazing speed of grep and file buffers in Emacs.
P.S. I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted. It's what I do. There's really no debate about whether grep is faster than VS search.
- city41 15y agoVS mimics both to an extent by allowing you to search with regular expressions and to choose to search from a file system context instead of project context. My favorite thing about this is I also use viemu, and I can search VS's search results using vi commands.
