You know, I'm not saying those things aren't important.
I'm just saying that the general use case sucks enough that I'd think you'd want to worry about that _first_, then perhaps think about startup time (maybe).
Sorry, wasn’t really arguing with you personally. And I agree, I am way more tolerant than I should be because “shiny”. Last I used VS proper (and it has been a while), it was a pig, but kinda worth it for the developer experience. But as you point out, all that piggishness and the experience is less than great? Umm, someone needs to do a rewrite.
