>I cannot get a plain folder view
Yes you can. Change from solution view to folder view.
>The good parts of VS is hot-reload (when it works), the debugger, and the profiler
So everything you want from an IDE?
What are you actually angry at?

I'm not angry, I just don't think it's fair to claim that VS is a good IDE.
If that's all you expect from an IDE, I understand why you're happy with VS :D
If you're targeting .NET or C++ development for Windows, there's not a lot of competition to be able to claim that there's something substantially better. Rider, IMO, is on par, with better refactoring. However, VS debugger is still better.
