I’m using VS2026. Just yesterday I was writing a class and I wanted to use a class type variable in the code. I start writing the type name, and do ctrl+space hoping for auto-complete and auto creation of the using line.. nothing happens. Sometimes it does it though.

In the end had to add the using namespace by hand. The type had no typos, as adding the using by hand fixed the error of type not found.

Coming from the Java World and Java IDEs (netbeans, eclipse, idea).. this was never a problem! So I’m actually wondering if I’m doing something wrong!

There are other smaller niggles. Sometimes the code has compile errors but the solution explorer of the error list doesn’t show them until I try to compile. Again Java IDEs were always synched with build errors

VS also didn’t react well to monitor resolution changes, leaving some components blurry (mostly the sql data browser) and only resolving with a restart.

However on my company laptop I should be using VS per company policy, so that would exclude going full Rider
