39:40 The biggest issue for me is if Debug/Release is anything longer than that it's cut off. Build configurations drop-down must take into account reasonably long strings.

I wish the multi cursor support are as good as Vscode.

To compare 2 files you can't just select them and open context menu or by shortcut. Select first, do context menu action, select second, do context action again. it's so microsofty way...
"We implement http!" - yey... but it's incompatible with rider, so we still can't use it and save in repo
Code editor - select encoding, so simple, when?

@MicrosoftVisualStudio How stupid it all is with these errors in C# Windows Forms and WPF XAML when someone enters the code for a given function so that it can work and as it turns out, it won't work anyway, because this whole list of errors shows that in position e.g. which does not exist, that there is an error, secondly, when I enter something correctly, according to the instructions, I write that this or that has not been declared and in my opinion this is sick, instead of the user being able to write applications for Windows quickly, easily and with pleasure, he suffers from I really have a very strong neurosis and please, ladies and gentlemen, please do something to make Visual Studio as good as possible, so that no one gets angry, but so that they can program anything normally. 😪🤮😡🤬😭

Waiting for the new UI...
UI is the most painful point in Visual Studio. :(

Constant smacking annoys and is unpleasant.
