This complaint is based on a .NET project I used to work on. I'm sure this isn't universally the case for everything .NET, but I had to work with one instance of visual studio open in the code repository and a second instance of visual studio open in the test repository. Everything we did was configured in and executed through VS. It was pretty nasty.
- jeffterns8 5y agoPoor project management != fault of IDE, it's the one responsible for choosing to configure the project in said way. That's not dismissing the fact that VS and other IDEs allow, and even recommend, nasty setups but, unless they force them, I don't see blaming optional features or poor usage of a tool as a rational reason to write off an entire toolset that can be powerful and productive.
- bccdee 5y agoIt was an older project — from what I've heard, better VS project structuring has only been possible in newer VS editions.
- jeffterns8 5y agoHow old are we talking? I've worked with versions of VS since VS 2005 and don't recall ever having issues with project structuring.
