Disagree. VS in 2000 was the most productive environment I've ever worked in. I was writing VB applications and could get the UI done in minutes, script it up and attach it to DCOM objects running on servers in hours. Whole applications done and dusted in a few days. It was easily the most productive environment I've ever worked in. Now I'm writing Go in VSCode, and the language server + plugins + tools take forever (well, multiple tens of seconds). I have to run the UI in a browser, the server in a container, and the database in another container (with all the pain that entails). It's a mess and it's just not nearly as productive.
