The Visual Studio IDE has gotten much much worse.
I started with Visual Studio 6 (mostly using Visual C++, and VB6) and it was a speedy.
Visual Studio 2003 was a little slower but not bad, 2005-2008 about the same. It was all bearable and acceptable.
Now Visual Studio 2010 is painful and awful. I've got a Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM and the interface is slow, you can see the GUI repaint sometimes. Clicking on the interface causes frequent pauses that take close to 1 second to respond.
- nxn 15y agoOpposite experience for me. 2005 and 2008 were incredibly slow, painful, and prone to locking up or flat out crashing. I don't think I've had one lock up or crash since I switched over to 2010 about 4 or 5 months ago. Also, I can have multiple instances of it open now without my whole computer gasping for RAM. In fact, when I launch a second instance it comes up in a split second, making me feel like the core parts are sharing common resources.
- vyrotek 15y agoI have to agree with this. VS 2010 is by far the best so far on many different levels as you've already pointed out.
- vailripper 15y agoVS 2010 is extremely fast for me, running on essentially the same hardware. Sounds like you've got something else going on there.
