I'm also not a fan of VS. From my perspective it is an overly complicated bloated software. But I think that way about quite a lot of software.

However, the developers I've spoken with who love it tell me that it has some insanely good tooling that is just unmatched by anything else. I'm not even in a position to know what they're talking about or why it's so important to them, but that doesn't mean they don't know what they're talking about.
