I work in a .NET C# environment and I get all of these issues. Sorted in order of most annoying to least annoying, they would be: #2, #1, #5, #3, #4. I don't really mind 3 and 4. I'm just saying this to affirm that your experience is not unique to you.

The most annoying issue to you, is that you click the wrong button, and it does what it's supposed to do?

Sure, but why have features that block the UI for an indeterminate period of time with no way to interrupt? You paid a lot of money and you expect the experience to be good.

Interruptions to flow are indeed high on my list of annoying issues. Blocking the UI unexpectedly to poll an external service for an indeterminate amount of time is frustrating and worthy of resolution.

Okay, for starters, you hit the wrong button. Secondly, pretty much everything is customizable, so edit your toolbars or menus to move those to a slow running menu. The others about code formatting and auto refactoring are easily disabled. Learn your tools.
