Has the Visual Studio team benchmarked against JetBrains Rider? Some of my co-workers use it and I'm being constantly reminded how well it performs.

MicrosoftWith the move to 64-bit as you can imagine performance is is topmost in our mind. We are looking at the key developer experience interactions and ensuring that we are optimizing performance for the key use cases for developers. But yeah, tl;dr - we are looking a LOT at performance and responsiveness (UI responsiveness as well) for VS2022
What we'd love to hear is the specific scenarios you are seeing that we should make sure we're optimizing -- load times, editor responsiveness, etc? That would be helpful to prioritize!
- The two big ones I've seen are startup (including solution load) and global search. I know solution load is an area that's improved, so I'm eager to try the preview in a week or so when my workload lightens. As for search, I think Rider creates a persistent index of all files, so searching is nearly instantaneous regardless of solution size, and may contribute to its fast startup, too, since it would only have to check for changes to the indexed files. Obviously I won't have more detail until I try it, which will be after this AMA window--I assume the built in report feedback UI is the way to go, then?
- timheuerCool, thanks for noting the scenario. Indeed please try it out and send us feedback. On Search we'd love also to see how y'all use the experience and what is valuable in the results. This is also an area of focus on experience + performance, so helpful to know the scenarios in search that will be important. Thanks for trying the new bits when you can!
