Why the hell did Microsoft have to complicate the daylights out of programming? I waste more time with this tool then any other I have used in the past - Anyone who enjoys programming with Visual Studio needs a life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5373564392160793625.post-43066701206428614972009-02-22T10:57:00.000-08:002009-02-22T10:57:00.000-08:00Xavier, I agree with most of your comments as rela...Xavier, I agree with most of your comments as related to VS/.BLOAT however we must give some credit to Sam! <BR/><BR/>Sam planted the seed for the new common theme of this blog, "DEVELOPING AT LIGHT SPEED" I'm going to spend a lot more time showcasing the capabilities of Visual Studio/.BLOAT and contrasting them with productive legacy technologies. That was a great idea! The other thing this debate has caused was my profile views to nearly double they went from around 250 view prior to the debate to over 420 since. <BR/><BR/>While I wanted to end the debate on Soma's blog, Sam's lasts posting let me scratching my head. I totally do not get how lines of code typed has no bearing on the develpment cost of the application. If anyone can explain this to me I would appreciate it!<BR/><BR/>Even thou I didn't reply to each comment. Thanks everyone for leaving them!<BR/><BR/>The bloat stops here!<BR/>.MarkMark Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06312405857371752407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5373564392160793625.post-85076582179887619402009-02-21T12:41:00.000-08:002009-02-21T12:41:00.000-08:00I write code for Windows and Linux.

Unnecessarily troublesome. Inefficient. Most other architecture and design philosophy are far superior even studio 6.0.<BR/><BR/>Kudos for pointing what everyone except Microsoft and Sam knows already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
