It's much heavier than what we had with Delphi/VB, it feels like wading through treacle in comparison.

We still have, Delphi might not be loved by younger generations, but it is still around for those that care.

Same applies to C++ Builder, which MS still hasn't been able to match. C++/CX was the closest we got on VS, but then politics killed it.

WinForms in Visual Studio is fast enough, but working with WPF and XAML certainly used to be painfully, painfully slow! Visual Studio would grind to a halt and memory usage would go through the roof.

In fairness, I haven't done any Windows desktop development for some time, so the XAML designer might be less crap nowadays.
