JetBrains is and always has been amazing, but I like VS Code mainly because I'm accustomed to Visual Studio which is a huge bloated mess, especially inside a VM. For me it's quite an improvement. I mainly do C# back end stuff, so YMMV. I'm sure C# is a first class language for VS Code.

VS 2019 without ReSharper does not feel bloated at all.

I'm running VS2019 inside a VM on a Mac and it's horrendous, particularly compile times. It does feel normal on a proper Windows box though.

I see no reason for the compile times to be different. Windows is known for slows file system access though.

Exactly this, VS2019 running inside Parallels Desktop is so slow. I’ve tried optimizing to no avail.

The Mac version of VS is not actually VS at all, it's rebranded Xamarin Studio. I assume the GP was talking exclusively about "actual" VS when he says it's much better now, which I also agree with.

He mentioned "in a VM", so I'm guessing he's running the actual visual studio on a windows VM (guest OS), in his mac (host OS).
