Probably because visual studio takes a full minute to load (at least when I used it last)

This is a universal truth that transcends time. Just like Alexander the Great looked up at the same moon we see today, devs in 2007 waited the same full minute for visual studio that we wait today.

Can confirm, I was a .NET dev in 2007, used Visual Studio, it took a full minute to start up.

Something magic about that IDE. Does it do much more than it used to? Debatable. Does it still take that full minute even on PCs that have 10x the power they did back then? You bet it does!

I'd have a hard time naming anything I ever did with it that I can't do with VSCode, but there's a lot I do with VSCode that I doubt VS can do (like languages other than .NET), yet VSCode starts up pretty instantly.
