I agree with you around VS and I use it all the time. The problem is that Rider for example is the same. I've had the chance to do a project with Rider recently and I have to say performance-wise both VS and Rider are just slow and prone to crashes and random errors. It's true they offer immense power. Debugging and profiling is unmatched in both IDEs. However, what I'd like is a more modular approach in both of them where I can disable certain things to take a load off the dev experience. I'm not sure if their architecture would allow for such a change, but I'd love to see it. I'm back to my usual VSCode setup now for .NET/C# work, but there even though I have more than 50 extensions, they are all enabled on per-project basis so the experience is pretty light. I still have to boot up VS/Rider from time to time, but it won't be my first choice.
