It&#x27;s the incredible bloat of the thing. It&#x27;s weighed down so much by features that I do not want or need. I don&#x27;t want SQL Server express &amp; all the associated bloat that comes with that. I don&#x27;t want IIS express and all the associated bloat that comes with that. I don&#x27;t want freaking Entity Framework and its associated GUI designers. I don&#x27;t want bloody &quot;Blend for Visual Studio&quot;, I thought that crap was dead. I don&#x27;t want TFS explorer - TFS is crap and everyone knows it, including Microsoft. I don&#x27;t need a WPF designer UI, I don&#x27;t need a WinForms designer UI. I certainly don&#x27;t need a WebForms designer UI (shudder). All I want is a text editor that lets me write &amp; debug code.
