Why should I? Microsoft has a pretty poor track record as far as I'm concerned. If I'm gonna get dirty, I insist that Microsoft get in the mud pit with me. they've shown no desire to do that. I kind of enjoy this love/hate thing we have going here. You love VS2010, we hate it. It's our own version of yin/yang, providing balance in the universe.

Yep, there are sluggish parts. Still, I'm happy if they fix some of the hangs. Step in the right direction.

I don't edit huge files. Lots of very small ones. That's what makes VS 2010 so pathetic. The article claims VS 2010 text editor is "blazing fast." It isn't. It's barely slow enough that it gives you a nagging feeling that it just isn't right. Now that I think about it, it reminds me of Word for DOS.

I hate this bullshit response. When I pay $800+ for a product, I expect it to be damn good, not barely acceptable for the free version. I would be deeply embarassed to ship, let alone sell, a product this flawed. That tells you everyhing you need to know about the mindset of the developer tools management at Microsoft.

You should, it hits the mark. I've been in the CP community for over a decade. In the last 3 years, it's become fashionable to complain, whine, and make sarcastic remarks about *everything*. This whole thread is a case in point. You incessantly complain about VS, yet when Microsoft tries to improve it by learning more about performance issues, you complain about *that*. You complain about the paid version, you complain about the free version. You talk as if you could write software that is better. If that's the case, show me your work. I'll delight in finding things to complain about. This community has devolved into a group of old sarcastic, jaded, cynical, whiny nerds. All I see is bitching, never any attempts to improve the situation. Makes me want to find another place to talk nerd stuff with other devs. Didn't used to be like this.

Judah HimangoIn the form of a VS plug-in, right? So the next time a service pack comes out, we have to UNINSTALL the plugin(s), install the service pack, reinstall the plug-ins, and we're good to go a few hours later? I don't even trust Microsoft to patch a paper bag, much less Visual Studio.

Well, look at our tools. Old, buggy, unreliable, and ignored by their manufacture after release. Do you think we LIKE having to complain about being raked over the coals for what amounts to be amateurish crap in terms of software? Believe me, there are LOT of things I'd rather be doing. Better to complain about it here where we have a legion of sympathetic ears rather than on MSConnect where we're ignored, and or worse, told to pound sand.

There's always the MSDN forums. Oh, wait... EVERYBODY there is complaining about problems. Not like here, where it's just a handful of us. Oh wait... Everybody here is comlaining about VS2010 as well. If you ask me, we're much more entertaining (when we're not complaining and not trying to make things better), so I think you're better off here.

No it doesn't. Yes, there is sarcasm and criticism, but in this case the criticism is completely valid. Microsoft claimed VS 2010 would be the next 6; the developer community interpretted that to mean lean and mean. Instead it was bloated and slow. Microsoft's response has been flippant at best.
Judah Himango wrote:

Wow, did you ever miss the point. The point is that VS 2010 Express is slow and unpolished. I wouldn't choose to use it. So why should I pay $800 for the same thing? And if I do pay $800, don't I have a right to complain loudly when it doesn't work right? If you bought a $800 TV and it didn't work as advertised, I suppose you wouldn't complain. After all, that's too fashionable. Nope, you'd just suck it up and live with it. I'll even bet you'd return a $30 toaster that didn't work right. Or maybe not.
Judah Himango wrote:

We have. I extensively beta tested VS 2005 and later VS 2010. I've filed dozens of bug reports to Microsoft only to have them rejected and closed. Many other people here have done the same and the resposne from Microsoft has been the same: go to hell, we can't be bothered.

Kinda remiscient of when they said they "re-wrote" SourceSafe so that it "didn't suck". And now we have that bloated over-priced mess called Team Foundation Suite.

Same thing I tell my kids. Complain once, OK. Complain incessantly for weeks on end, not OK. Some things don't get fixed. Software has bugs. Get over it. Move on. If VS doesn't work for you, don't use it. If you use it, and it has problems, don't just bitch about it. Do something about it. The thing I linked to is a step in the right direction. I wouldn't mind the complaining if there was also an acknowledgment of improvements. For example, VS 2010 doesn't leak memory like 2008 did. (Try opening/closing a 30 proj solution 10 times, for example.) Do I see any, "Oh, sweet, they fixed some memory leaks" posts? Nope. Just more bitching.

That's a load of crap and you know it. Microsoft doesn't respond unless you complain loudly and often. (Same with Apple and many other companies.) There were bug fixes in the release version of VS 2010 that happened only becuase I complained incessantly to everyone in Microsoft management that I could contact. There was another blantantly obvious issue they refused to even look at until dozens of people had added comments to the bug report.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997Ok, fair enough. They've been using this tool at Microsoft to find and fix VS hangs. Does that count? Quoting an MS dev,
This tool has been used inside Microsoft for several months, and the results have been astounding. The quality of the bug reports this tool generates are superb, and allows the Visual Studio feature teams to spend more time fixing issues, and less time investigating and trying to reproduce issues. If you are encountering responsiveness issues in the IDE, and would like your issues fixed, this extension is a must have.
I'm with you about MS Connect, by the way. They need to hire more people to fix more bugs. Too many things go unresolved/postponed/will not fix. I think cases that are auto-reported from this plugin have a higher chance of getting fixed, as they are actionable items with stack trace, whereas MS Connect issues often are less concrete, less actionable.

This is me getting angry: For the last time, when we DO try to do something about it, we're essentially told BY MICROSOFT that we're wasting our time in doing so. I reported the syntax coloring bug BEFORE VS2010 went into beta. It's now MORE BROKEN than it was in VS2008. They took away MDI windows because WPF doesn't support MDI. They claim they did a survey of developers before making that call. WHAT SURVEY!? NOBODY here ever heard about a frakking survey. You'd think that what could arguably be called the 2nd largest conglomeration of MS developers on the FRAKKING planet would have heard about a survey if it existed. We won't even start to discuss the mysterious freezes, laggy response in the editor, and the weird assed sh*t I experienced on Sunday with regards to the debugger on a simple console app. This is me calming down a little:

Bingo. There were fixes because you did something. (Not just bitch in the CP forums.) I don't mind the bitching if you're trying to improve things. That's why I linked to this tool. It can improve things. But if you don't try to improve things, and all you're doing is bitching to CP, I've no respect for that.

Why didn't we hear about those? Instead, all we heard was more whining about the ones that didn't get fixed. You're complaining that they didn't fix a syntax color bug. You're complaining they don't have MDI windows. You're implying they lied about taking a survey on the MDI thing. So what? They took away MDI? Boo freaking hoo. Get over it. You're not a 5 year old. Software is imperfect. Move on. If it really matters that much to you, keep talking to Microsoft, stop bitching to CP about how terrible your life is because of it. When every CP thread is met with cynicism, it's gone too far. Oh, if VS has an MDI, I'm going to start bitching.

Bingo. There were fixes because you did something. (Not just bitch in the CP forums.) I don't mind the bitching if you're trying to improve things. That's why I linked to this tool. It can improve things. But if you don't try to improve things, and all you're doing is bitching to CP, I've no respect for that.

Judah HimangoAre you even listening. We HAVE tried to make other changes and Microsoft tells us to fuck off. Hence, we come here and bitch, some of us with the hope that being called out publically will embarasss Microsoft into acting. But do make note that the ONLY reason those bugs got fixed is because I bitched and moaned on CodeProject and various blogs run by Microsoft managers. In other words, I did what we are doing here. It was the ONLY thing that was effect. Microsoft not only ignored Connect but closed the damn bugs with "can't reproduce, won't fix" (though they were readily reproducable.)

Who fucking said that? Are you even fucking reading. This is really pissing me off. We ARE filing bugs and Microsoft doesn't give a shit. Just like Apple, until you embarass them in public, THEY.DON'T.CARE.
