Any IDE that wants to challenge VS has an uphill battle in what concerns:

- GUI editors

- Parallel code debugging

- GPU debugging

- Enterprise code navigation

- Edit-and-continue

- Debugging native code generated for .NET applications

- Mixed language debugging

- GUI Profiler

- Code Profiler

Just a few items on the top of my head.

I made a raytracer the other day (A necessary rite of passage for any developer) and happened to add a Wavefront (.obj) 3D mesh file file to my solution. Then clicked it. VS just shat out what was essentially a mesh viewer with some pretty advanced capabilities. No wonder it's huge :D

And all that stuff would be fine if opening up the file didn't lock up the whole IDE. Lock the tab with a loading anim and let the developer work elsewhere.

Don't forget the image editor.
