Yes, and unlike all of my Android devices, it still gets regularly patched, despite being "dead" (and Android supposedly leading).

It took it 5 years to die? Total garbage!! If it were iPhone it would've slowed down to the point where you couldn't have used it 3 years ago. Thus enabling you to have an excuse to buy new technology. Laugh | :laugh:

I have it (VS 2017) installed but rarely use it as VS 2010 still handles most of my needs, is stable and starts blazingly fast...and to think, I'm missing out on all these new features! Laugh | :laugh:

Oh, wait, I think he meant 2019. I didn't even notice either, but I was using 2017 with none of this and it is only since I installed 2019 that I see this junk.

Oops, he posted 2017 and I followed along thinking 2019, 2019, 2019.... Sigh | :sigh:

VS 2010 is still my favorite as well. Only downside is it does not connect to the newer versions of SQL so you cannot debug stored procs from SQL > 2012. Other than that it is much faster than any of the newer versions.

I still like 2008 the best, myself, but I moved to 2017 a year or so ago. Doesn't seem inordinately distracting, maybe the OP is talking the 2019 version (as others have said).

Not seen 2019 yet, but when first started 2017 all the methods had weird spacing and text above them. I never wrote anything there.
Also the line numbers had spaces in them. 30 31, big gap 32 33??
Add Team Server repo, and even more text is added.

Googled wtf, found how to change to make smaller less intrusive.

But now find them very help.

Talking about method references, commit change notices and the like.

2010 might have had these but can't remember.

As far as I'm concerned Microsoft's UIs, across all product lines, have been getting worse since Office/VS 2010. They've gotten monochromatic and the framing features of the UI (take a look at Outlook's calendar grid lines for an example) have gotten so dim that they're useless.

The only bright spot has been the improvements in the Windows 10 context menus.

It's a traditional Crossword substitution: "Book" refers to one of the two books of the bible, the "Old Testament" (or "OT") and the updated version the "New Testament" (or "NT"). Technically, "Books" should be "OTNT" but these religious types don't seem to be over concerned with accuracy or facts ... Laugh | :laugh:
