In what world do you live in where the visual studio debugger in considered good? Or have they finally got around to fixing it? Last I tried it was unbearably slow, like seconds to step a single line

The world where I’ve used it professionally debug C++ for almost 20 years?

It’s certainly not perfect. But “seconds to step a single line” is not normal. Certainly not what I experience. Even when debugging very large code bases like Unreal Engine.

Sounds like a hardware issue, works fine on my machine. No speed issues at all.
I do admit I haven't used it for almost a decade but wasn't vs debugger (at least for cpp) considered top notch and unrivaled? What's better nowadays?
