Yes you can. Change from solution view to folder view.

So everything you want from an IDE?

What are you actually angry at?

I can't use file view, since it has some side-effect that messes up our solution completely. And before you blame me, it's a cmake import.

I'm not angry, I just don't think it's fair to claim that VS is a good IDE.

If that's all you expect from an IDE, I understand why you're happy with VS :D

Yes, but what do YOU expect from an ideal IDE? That was the question.

If you're targeting .NET or C++ development for Windows, there's not a lot of competition to be able to claim that there's something substantially better. Rider, IMO, is on par, with better refactoring. However, VS debugger is still better.

You're right in that it might be the only viable option for some usecases, but that doesn't make it good. It makes it passable :)
