VS 2019 is faster and more stable at some things while simultaneously being slower and buggier at others.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

It's a massive improvement on VS2015, which was truly dreadful.
It's a slight improvement on VS2017, which was much better than 2015.
It's definitely worth upgrading if you use the new shiny features.
If you're still maintaining .NET 3.5 Winforms/VB.NET solutions, you should keep VS2013 around, which for that platform was the fastest and most stable IDE of them all.
Ever since VS2015, Edit and Continue in VB.NET/.NET 3.5/Winforms has been horribly broken, mostly unusable. MS have been utterly unresponsive.

I have been using it since last 3 months and haven't had any issue. It starts pretty quick now and debugging is also faster.
P.S. I have total 105 projects in the solution.
If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much.

And currently running 2017, then upgrade.

New version awareness tends to come when you first try to find something and it's a case of "Grrrr! Where on earth have they hidden SSIS this time?" or something to that effect. I pay little attention to icons.
I'm on 2017 by the way (had to check). That seems to be okay.

The differences between 2017 and 2019 are there, but they tend to be rather specialised (slightly better support for c++17, and similar highlights)

I decided to do a speed test the other day recording project startup times and also build times for a small web application. I'm getting pushed to migrate around a dozen small to medium sized web applications from .NET 4.0 to .NET 4.6 to take advantage of a new (fairly expensive) suite of widgets we bought last year. I've been dragging my feet as it means leaving my beloved VS 2010 which I've become quite fond of over the decade. Why would this matter?
Sure, I've tried the newer versions, VS 2015, 2017, and now 2019. None can match the startup and build times of VS 2010.
Startup time in secs: (double-click to usable)
a: 2010 - 6.5
b: 2017 - 24.0
c: 2019 - 15.0
Build time in secs: (F5 after making a change)
a: 2010 - 9.5
b: 2017 - 23.0
c: 2019 - 16.5
It's getting better, but a difference of 6-7 seconds every time I need to debug is tangible. I suppose there is a price for progress.
Another thing that annoys me is how much bloat/cruft comes with using third-party components....add one widget to the project and it adds 3 dozen dlls along with the language packs for de, es, ja, and ru.

VB 6.0 is even faster on my Windows 10 machine.

ooo! Nice numbers man!
I've noticed that its a good deal faster for my builds than 2017 as well.

I'm currently using VS2017 and planning on using VS2019 once .Net Core 3.0 comes out.

looks like they are using the windows 10 model. Just push out as release candidate as live indefinitely.

It's been somewhat downhill since VS2008.
Which, by the way, I'll be using in a little while to update something that works fine.

I know you are joking but the bugs had nothing to do with our code, I assure you.

Entity Framework (for starters) was not working correctly with VS 2019 in the early stages after release. That was a confirmed issue.
