I’m with you on this one. I’m having to use VS for a current build and it forces you down a one-way-or-the-highway approach. Sure, you can find extensions that alter how it works a bit, but I don’t have the time to learn how to write a VS extension. I’d much prefer the flexibility of a bunch of small tools, each of which works well in isolation. I find VS extremely heavy in resource utilisation.
I expect I’d be much happier if I could swap out the code editor for Sublime as a minimum, but as I’m writing a bunch of LESS code I keep on having to jump back into VS anyway to trigger a recompile.
