I don’t think there’s ever been any good tooling for the entire collection of ASP.NET DSLs. Be that MVC, Razor, or Blazor. Genuinely the same problems I had in VS2010 still happen in VS2022.
There’s been some changes and improvements, but I really have to ask what the editor tooling team within that team are doing.
I know there are some very difficult problems involved in parsing and formatting and highlighting bastardised mixtures of HTML, C#, and JavaScript all in the same file but if anything I think that perhaps suggests it was a bad idea to begin with.
Consider the tooling for desktop and mobile apps with XAML (WPF, Avalonia) or even WinForms - they all have code behind support.
Meaning there is no need (or ability) to mix all three in the same file.
