This is also for the release of .NET [Core] 6.

  I wonder if they will update vscode for .net6, does anybody know?

    I assume it uses standard roslyn-based language server. So if you install the latest .Net 6 it all should work.

I still haven't gotten used to Visual Studio 2019 as I haven't done enough development at home and we've only just switched to using 2019 in the office. Some features do look nice and interesting so I suppose I could try it out at home but that would mean more yak shaving in trying to set it up again. EDIT: One of the things that will delay adoption is the breaking change of the VSSDK so all of the extension authors will need to update their extensions to work with the new version. Otherwise there are a bunch of handy debugging features which would be nice to use.

Funny thing is, as of now the app is titled literally Visual Studio 2022 Current. Whoops!

  With Visual Studio 2022 we’ve introduced more user control over the update cadence. The Current Channel is our latest stable release. The LTSC offers 18 months of servicing. And Preview Channel offers the earliest look at upcoming features.

The performance improvements of 2022 over 2019 are incredible. I cannot state this strongly enough. For anyone who complains about VS 2019 and earlier being sluggish: yes, you're 100% correct, but 2022 has solved pretty much all of my performance complaints.

"Visual Studio 2022 is our first 64-bit release of Visual Studio." I am surprised to read that VS is still a 32-bit app. I suppose there isn't a huge need to make an IDE 64-bit; still the other IDEs I use (IntelliJ, Goland) have been 64-bit for quite a while.

  Visual Studio is an application written in part C++/CLI, part C#. Heaviliy relying on COM. Musn't have been easy to port to 64-bit.
