I think "most everyone" just uses Resharper - Microsoft kind of has a background of letting a healthy ecosystem of 3rd party addin providers exist, and only gradually incorporates the best features into the core product.

Most times when someone complains that Visual Studio is slow, you'll find they have Resharper installed.

Hard to live without though! I upgraded my PC to a 4.2ghz six core 6850k i7, 32gb ram and a 950 Pro NVME soon after I started dev in C#.

It was still slow, but somewhat less so. :)

Not at all. Never used resharper after 10+ years of .Net.

i love the features of resharper, but after all these years, the performance is still super awful when you have large projects.

Every new version I give it a try to see if the perf problems are fixed, and every time I have to turn it off after a few hours.
