I hate to say this, but a lot of your issues might also be coming from the TFS integration. I know I used to have a bear of a time with random crashes and issues. Since switching to git &amp; resharper I have had a much, much easier time.<p>With 1 notable exception of 1 huge project.<p>On large, 40+ project, solutions it seems like Visual Studio just falls on its face. Our new team is redirecting toward microservice approaches in light of some of these frustrations.<p>Not that your arch should be dictated by your editor, but quality of life is what it is.
