I've used Visual Studio for many years. Visual Studio 5.0 was very responsive. Visual Studio 2015 is not as responsive. Nowadays it seemes a bit bloated, even after disabling unused plugins and features. Switched to CLion and Rider, which are not known for their speed, but feel more responsible than VS to me. That and a more affordable price and cross-platform support.
I am sorry we lost you and we're very aware of the need to improve IDE performance and have invested a lot into this release towards that goal. Just one example to read is this blog series when the product was still codenamed VS "15". https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2016/10/14/imp... (VS "15" is Visual Studio 2017) We also have Visual Studio Code for those who want a lighter code editor, see: http://cod…
Could also have to do with the filesystem in newer versions of Windows (file operations seem slower in modern versions), the shell, background services and other characteristics of the OS.

Lyalin, the download links seems to be broken? Tried with multiple browsers now, no download is starting :( https://www.visualstudio.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-st...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
So this is full, 100% Visual Studio for Mac (soonish), or is it Xamarin Studio rebranded?
Visual Studio for Mac will be our Mac IDE going forward and will grow in features, sure its past is Xamarin Studio but its future will have A LOT of investment so its worth checking out in Preview 4.

Worked after 10 tries or so. Just keep clicking retry
I attempted to create the offline installer [1] but the vs_community.exe just silently quit after some mintues, having downloaded only some certificates.
The custom download idea is easily planted with malware and all those bad things. Also, please consider upgrading from SHA-1.

The perceived performance might not be necessarily only due to Visual Studio itself. Could also have to do with the filesystem in newer versions of Windows (file operations seem slower in modern versions), the shell, background services and other characteristics of the OS.
I am very biased so don't listen to me lol, but I do think Windows 10 and the various developer tools release we've done over the last few years have really pushed things forward but of course we are very much listening to our community so please make your voice heard.

So the answer was no
No isn't an answer to that question.

Is a good answer to that question.
