I do NOT have an open mind in this regard.


Laugh | :laugh: I hear you. It's your choice and you're right to do so. I still believe Visual Studio is a hell of an IDE. I used to swear by it and take any criticism to it, religiously.

As you I stand by my choice to keep an open mind and I that led me the conclusion that VSCode is a lot more productive even on .net stack on some scenarios and that's based on experience not beliefs.

But hey, you're happy with what you believe and that should suffice.

Although a bit old (I am 37), I really make an effort to keep an open mind, I think you should try it. Life can provide pleasant surprises that are not limited by age.
