That implies that if a better alternative to VS came along, C# developers wouldn't choose it! I certainly would, for one, and I'm a long-term VS user, well aware of its failings (but also yet to come across another IDE that's noticeably superior. And coding with a text editor and command line compiler is something I spent 10+ years doing when it was all that was available, and nothing I have any great hankering to go back to - even if it's something I still resort to as an emergency measure, e.g. when on some remote system with text-only access etc.)

The only IDE better than Visual Studio is probably one of the Smalltalk IDEs, but the languages are too niche these days. It's a shame none of the large companies wants to back them.
