So...you're wrong on most accounts. VS 2010 is plenty fast and plenty of people build plenty of cross platform apps and web apps using Visual Studio.

Honestly, I think you should really just consider checking your attitude and your politics at the door because hating Microsoft and all that "ghastly" proprietary software is just so passe. It's boring and nobody cares that you think proprietary software is evil.

fast is a relative term. If we're talking about VS 2010, then it's fast versus building an IDE with ed on your own.

Honestly, I think you should really just consider checking your attitude and your politics at the door because loving Microsoft and all that proprietary software is just so old-school. It's boring and nobody cares that you think free software is evil.

Right, except nothing that I said conveyed any sort of gushing "love" for Microsoft or proprietary versus any other software.

Listing "it's proprietary" immediately before "it's slow" OTOH? Yeah, it's pretty telling where that comment is coming from.

If you don't like it, why come out of your way to make a negative comment about it unless you're just being a hater?

Intellectual honesty cannot coexist alongside zealotry.
