I work with all sorts of people in the industry across genres and I've seen plenty of workflows at many studios. I have no idea where you are getting this but you don't have any idea what you're talking about.

I am talking about the game developers that I follow. I like to think that I have a good idea about the game developers that I follow. If you do it differently or know many people who do it differently, that's fine with me. I don't work in the game industry.
The general statement I made was that VS is slow and that it has bugs. I also know from my own experience that this was more true in 2011 than it is now. I still don't like it.

Out of curiosity, who do you follow?

Mostly Casey Muratori and Jonathan Blow. I've also watched a few streams by Abner Coimbre who now works for Jonathan Blow. And generally I like the guys from the circle of RAD Game Tools, although I'm not sure about their workflows. I believe Sean Barrett still uses Visual Studio 6.0 which is from the year 1998 according to Wikipedia.
The game developers I follow all use Visual Studio exclusively for debugging. Otherwise they use a standalone editor and hand picked tooling, and batch scripts and the command window (or something like mintty which has its own problems) while cursing all the time.
