    Rico Mariani in his blog[^] announces he is new Chief Architect of Visual Studio. "Naturally with Beta 2 of Orcas coming “soon” the results of my old job are what you’re likely to see in terms of Visual Studio performance (and other things) for a while, but hopefully that will change – in a good way – in the months and years to come." :cool:

      Darn, I had rather seen him on the .NET runtime and do some perf work on that! Numeric and p-invoke performance is really not great for .NET.

        Let's set up a new message board - "Top 100 Things That Need to be Fixed in Visual Studio". We can vote on the posts. Maybe send this guy a link to it. I'm tired of new releases that just seem to accumulate more questionable features, more bugs, with no attention paid to the widely known problems. F1 Help, anyone? Pathetic! How about MS announcing a new "Head Honcho to fix Outstanding Bugs"? VS is on the brink of becoming a buggy, bloated, time-wasting piece of garbage.

        Best wishes, Hans

          Hmmm. "Architect" implies the product is planned, thought out, designed... How come you don't see job descriptions like "Chief Hack of Visual Studio"? Marc

              I agree. Since I just did the VS SP1 the other day, and I haven't noticed any real changes. Maybe my eyes are getting worn out :->

                Oh no, I can just see the next version of Visual Studio. Visual Studio "Rico Sauve".

                  Looks like they kicked out the guy that insisted on keeping native code compilers in the IDE.

                    The new guy brags about his work on performance, but nothing about fixing defects or product stability. Maybe that's not too surprising, with the turnover in these positions so high - if you're going to move on in a year, why bother fixing stuff? Just go for the killer feature, take the credit, and split. In everything from Xbox to Visual Studio to Vista to Office to Zune, Microsoft's recent track record is very poor - poor planning, poor execution, poor customer acceptance, poor reliability, poor response to customer complaints. If you had been asked, "What does Visual Studio need the most?", would you have answered - "Oh, a new chief architect". I don't think so. It's depressing.

                      Yeah. As a group, windows developers are doomed.

                        Mwhoa, overall I like VS, I don't have that many problems with it (buiding Win Forms apps). I don't see any other product that comes close to it.
