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.
