    Yes, so far it's working well. Any reason you don't?

      Too early to tell, only installed it a few days ago, did try a simple .NET 6 Winforms project but got into trouble when I wanted to turn off "Implicit Usings", clearly they did not anticipate someone doing that :-\ [edit] Oh, and forget trying to trim a Winforms application to reduce the exe size, that was possible in .NET 5 but not in .NET 6. So my empty Winforms app is about 160 MB :sigh:

      I love how VB has implicit usings for 20 years already :laugh: Well, it's not called as such, but it's the same.

        I've mostly used SourceTree instead of VS, but that looks like a useful feature actually. It would be nice if it was more configurable, I can understand why you would get annoyed with not being able to change it.

          Define the "nothing" that the previous version would do in this case? Checking out a different branch will replace all controlled files with those from the other branch. If you have uncommitted changes which you don't want to apply to the new branch, it can either throw those changes away ("discard changes" in this new dialog), or it can store them somewhere for you to reapply later ("stash changes"). I don't think I've ever tried this, so I have no idea which of those options was chosen by default in previous version of Visual Studio.

            Currently on 17.1.6. I migrated from VS2017 several months ago and definitely prefer VS2022. I use GitHub, recently converted to CMake, and am working on targeting for Linux. Support for all of these things has improved considerably. Ninja compiles (C++) are ridiculously fast (~800 files in about a minute). Recently I discovered the "View" capability when looking at strings in the debugger. How long has that been around?! Probably for a decade, and I never noticed! But what a godsend when debugging the source code for template instantiations that my "compiler" (static analysis tool) has to generate. Some of the things that I don't like about VS2022 compared to VS2017: - The indent/outdent buttons for code blocks were removed. There's a way to put them back, but it's too annoying. - When I type #include "Header.h", I always have to retype the second ". Huh? - If a function defined in a header is trivial, I put the {...} on the same line, but VS inserts endlines that I have to remove. - I can't figure out how to get CMake/Ninja to do x86 compiles, so they still happen the old, slow way. - To edit an .md file in VS, you must wait until Intellisense is done, which it hardly ever is. And an .md file is none of its business! - Windows no longer allows SIGTERM and std::terminate to be caught in a release build. - There are probably other things, so I'll try to edit them into this post as I'm reminded of them. Someone might know how to overcome them.

              Not exactly - working with git (without the VS wrap), while creating a new branch (on the local) and than switch to it, the uncommitted changes will stay uncommitted... The new branch is an exact copy of it's parent, which includes the uncommitted change - and that's what I call 'nothing'... While I can see that some can benefit from the check VS now runs, the fact that I can't turn the popup off is annoying... Plus, take in account that the check VS does is far from being complete, the current (base) branch in my case is write protected so committing to it is futile... Also the newly created branch is local so no danger of whatsoever to ruin something...

                    I'm on 17.0.2 - never bothered with the incremental updates since initial install. Other than file level history/blame, I don't use the built in GIT features in VS, so your issue would have no impact on me. Not being able to set a default and only pop that when it won't work does suck though. X| Have an upvote on your issue on the MS side though.:thumbsup:

                      I use VS mostly for C++ code, and the compiler seems to work just as well as the compiler in VS 2019, i.e. I haven't discovered any new bugs. I haven't tried the new C++20 features yet. I also haven't spotted any new bugs in the IDE. I haven't tried your particular 'git' scenario, so I can't comment.

                        So the "bring the changes to..." option from the new dialog, which appears to be selected by default? I can see how you might be slightly annoyed that you can't configure a default action and suppress the dialog. But it's hardly an "unable to use this version"-level bug. :)

                          The first option is the default - and that what I want... And I change branches like 20 times a day (on 4-5 different projects) and it is beyond annoying... I filled the "can't use" option to try to make MS to take it more seriously... because of my past experience...

                                The problem with hate is, it's a destructive motion after all. True, there's nothing bringing people together like the hate for a common enemy but take this hate away and you're left with shambles. Like, nazis & tree huggers marching together against COVID-19 measures may be the best friends but last time we (Germany) had nazis in power, tree huggers were among the first ones to "let go". Specifically to Visual Studio, I've seen hate so stupid, it hurts. Like that article I got in my CodeProject newsletter from a nutjob proclaiming Visual Studio is to blame why there's no decent IDEs/code editors for .NET. Like, WTF? That said, type hints for C++ in the latest VS are amazing! I'm also a huge fan of test coverage right within the text editor, but that's not new to the latest VS.

                                  Used to VS but I use it only for editing, compiling and debugging - everything else is run outside of VS.

                                    Not using but I'm assuming the 2 main announces still not changed, but I'm not aware of anything big change in 17.2 that not been in since 17.0 Basic Check changes, stage, commit, merge, conflict fixing all works, unless you the smart alic coworker that shoves in squish and other headach commits. Method intelisense of when last edit and who. Blame. All functions in editor without having to load another tool. 2 issues: 1. switching branches in the git manage throws another tab. Wtf why cant you stay on the manage tab. 2. why the view single commit history have the changes files list fixed into the side by side view. The old git had all simple in the git changes menu which was a better navigation for me at least.

                                      Why? I like it. Compared with Xcode (which I also use, on the Mac of course) it's in a different league. MS keep breaking Edit `n` Continue though, which means I am back on VS 2017, pro-tem.

                                        I use vscode. It's not a real ide, I guess, but it does what I want, and that is enough for me. I'm very old school about debugging anyway, and mind my own git separately. Maybe VS is like a fancy bread maker that I don't need because my KitchenAid, huge crockery bowl, and oven can do the job nicely.

                                          I like you can finally navigate enumerable efficiently in the debugger. Can't say I have really looked for any other changes. The install was... a challenge with timeouts and whatnot, but that seems to have been resolved.

                                          I honestly think they are trying to make it better with every release. But, it seems they changed the directory name for C# user-defined project/item templates from 'Visual C#' to just 'C#'. I spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out why my item templates disappeared. I didn't see that talked about anywhere.
