Not all portions of VS are maintained to the same degree - their BI tools were horrible for years, and there was not much in the way of alternatives. I'd often spend more time fixing/triaging the IDE issues than I would my own code/projects. And when you then start to add multiple versions of VS into the mix (this was required for the BI projects + newest SQL Server database projects) it gets even worse.
