Having lots of features != being of high quality. If Eclipse was "slower than molasses", then VS was a brick - as many a poor computer of mine from back then can attest, fans a-spinning at speeds that made hurricanes feel like gentle breezes all because I'd double-click on some random file that VS decided "hey I can open this therefore I should be the default" (and thanks to all that feeping creaturism, that was a lot of files). Meanwhile, Emacs worked fine. Netbeans worked fine. Eclipse worked okay. Qt Creator existed (though I can't attest to how well it worked then). There were definitely options, and while sure, they lacked a lot of those fancy bells and whistles, at the end of the day were those really worth turning computers into passenger jets? > But I had a better developer experience using Visual Studio and C# a dozen years ago (!!!) than I have with Node JS now. That bar is so low that even ants have to duck to get under it.
