Why can’t you upgrade to the latest version? Sounds like tech debt. And Visual Studio is almost dead, why aren’t you on Visual Studio Code?


… huh? Visual Studio is extremely not dead, they are literally about to release a 64-bit version after a massive rework. VS Code is a text editor which you can extend into being an IDE. Visual Studio is an IDE.

There are many reasons why one might be unable to upgrade to the latest version of any given thing. For an example close to my heart of why one might be unable to upgrade to .NET 6 (or indeed to later versions of the .NET 5 SDK), there's the showstopping https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/10389.

That's incredibly weird take in my opinion.

Whenever I use VS Code, then I feel huge gap between this and real VS with Roslynator extension.
