Altho I don&#x27;t share your issues with all the &#x27;bloating&#x27; stuff ( as others mentioned most of them can be avoided ) , I have a growing concern for the performance of VS while working with a bigger codebase (120+ projects) . It gets really really slow and full of loading screens which literally block you from doing anything. In fact you can sit there and wait 5+ minutes sometimes just to have the IDE let you do anything. Not to mention the infinite amount of times I&#x27;ve had Visual Studio close while I&#x27;m writing and it leaves my code in an unknown state. Oh yeah, not to forget the debugger exception which causes your debugger simply to detach even after you&#x27;ve spent around 5 minutes to get to the precise location of the program. Whoa, turns out I have quite a bit of hatred stored in me too! :D (VS2015)
