Even on high spec machines, visual studio feels so clunky and slow. Haven't used Rider but Intellij for Java development is a dream compared to visual studio for .NET development


It's really noticeable, and a lot worse than it used to be. My dev desktop is a 5800X with 64G of RAM and a nice samsung m.2 SSD. VS feels slow on it. Rider doesn't. VS Code doesn't.


Especially for large solutions (in terms of .NET development) , VS Code seems much slower than Rider.


Input latency

That’s the thing that makes Visual Studio so annoying. Even typing is slow. A lot of other stuff too.


I use Rider in a Windows VM and it is night and day compared to VS 2019 in regard to speed.
