I write C# code on a medium-large solution (ASP.net, 60 or so projects, ~1M LOC) and to be honest I don't know why everyone thinks that VS2019 is so great.

VS2019 frequently freezes for multiple seconds. When project files change (e.g. because you check out a different branch) VS often fails to load the modified projects and I need to restart the IDE.

Then there's the fact that the refactoring tools in VS2019, despite improving significantly since older versions, are still way behind ReSharper or IntelliJ.

I also generally dislike the UI I'm VS2019. The Git integration works, but it's cumbersome to use. You can't easily have multiple run configurations. The error/warning list pops up seemingly at random.

I use Rider now. It's not perfect, but I am just much more productive in that environment.
