You are so incredibly wrong. Visual Studio was a horrible IDE for most of the past 20 years, relative to competitors. Quite literally the only reason it picked up marketshare was that it supported new Windows features before Borland could. Borland was miles ahead in every other respect.

Microsoft continued to suck, in virtually all respects, relative to competition, until around 2015.

I don't quite understand how Microsoft suddenly became competent, and released an awesome IDE, but that's a very new phenomenon.
