&gt; I feel MS has really dropped the ball with VS.<p>This has been the case for C++ for a while now. Every version of VS has gotten worse since, IDK, 2006 or something (and that&#x27;s ignoring how long it takes them to finish new versions of the language). I had a suspicion that they had moved their A team over to work on C#, but hearing this... maybe they&#x27;re just getting worse.
