... emacs.

Emacs is an operating system not an IDE. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A new one on me. I haven't used it since the early 2000s, so I guess it has been extended somewhat.

The joke long predates the clowns trying to port Linux to it. I first heard it sometime between 99 and 03.

Never moved up to Emacs. Still using TECO!

Once the company moved to web-based everything, one by one my (VS-built) .exe's have faded into history.

Unfortunately, as part of my current job, I am required to maintain and develop MS Access applications.
(And also VB6, but that is a whole other issue)
Even though the apps I maintain are originally legacy applications, I have been working hard to make them relevant and able to last for the conceivable future.
Which of course includes moving the Database aspect (apart from temporary tables) to an actual Database Server, MS SQL Server in my case.
MS Access may not be thought of as an IDE in and of itself, but I believe it checks all the boxes for that definition (including Unit testing, if said unit is the form/report/query being tested).
And even though I do prefer working with VS, once you get used to the "clunkiness" of the Office VBA code editor, MS Access is easy to use as a development tool.

You're not alone. A buddy of mine maintains a pile of internal company applications in Delphi 7.

I wondered if there is a possibility to listen to two or more MP3's at the same time and thus mixing them to the audio output, and also handle their volume apart. I saw an application such as Virtual DJ, and I would like to write a C# Winforms application but with very basic possibilities, mixing 2-3 mp3 files, handle their volume separately, and if possible listen to the headphones separately (pre-listening) while another audio file is playing. I looked for code here and there, but the only thing I found was mixing mp3 files and save them to a new file without listening....

You've posted this in the wrong place, so it's very unlikely you're going to get any responses. Try here[^].

At least it wasn't in the Lounge?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Based on the fact you can't even work out the correct place to post a question, probably best to just drop the programming part and just go buy some software that does what you want (or find a free alternative).

Saw this too late, but I posted it in the right topic this morning.

And sure enough, VS is way out there in front.
The best IDE in the world, despite it's bugs and annoyances.
Just shows what MS can actually do when they try.

Agree. That said I use VS Code except in very rare situations when I need a Windows debugger. I can use it on Linux, which is my primary development platform, but even on Windows I just like it better than the old VS nowadays.

tbh I do not think VS is a good IDE. Not since I worked with intelliJ.
It has tons of features, agreed, and it can develop "anything" - but exactly this is the problem... there is too much of... everything.
VS behaves like a dinosaur, is slow and unresponsive. the intelliSense works like in the 90's, the console log is a pure horror and you only want to run away (at least when you have worked with the excellent real-time filtering in intelliJ - even regex-based), the search-function is as-bad-as it could be ... no honestly, VS is not even in the top 3 of my favorite IDEs.
all those QoL features are lightyears behind intelliJ. Not even a scope feature is there, different views on a project... no..no.. sorry - VS is behind. WAY behind. It's just so popular because C# is popular. but popular does not mean, it's good.
just my 2 cent

Frankly, that's how I feel about IntelliJ. Tons of poorly integrated features, slow and a memory hog. I use VS Code even for Java - admittedly it's not my primary language.

I wanted to start a thread about IntelliJ but since you already mentioned it, I'll say this here.
I last used it several years back, but I simply don't get the hype. In fact, it felt worse than VS. It was clunky, slow and... just didn't come off well at all.
Sorry, not trying to start a war or anything, but I just don't get how it's that popular.
Cheers,
Vikram.

I have to agree, I found IntelliJ to be lacking. It felt very under-developed. Kinda like the developers kept getting "new and shiny" syndrome half way through developing features so you'd end up with a whole lot of cool stuff that worked, sometimes.

Visual Studio has those features.
I don't use them, so I can't say how good they are, but they are there.

The question was not which was the best but the one most of us use. Probably because it is the most commercially viable. I never even tried any of the others because I always coded in c# (last 20 years anyway)
