Twitter and Visual Studio Rant

Description

The first - and probably last - time I will seriously respond to an arrogant, dismissive Twitter post on-stream. I felt it was worth doing at least once. Esoterica: You'll notice that when I talk about how bad the Visual Studio watch window speed is, I say "default install", and I also explain part of the reason for the slowness (intentional delay). The reason that I know this, and refer to the default, is that there are - or at least were - undocumented ways of changing the delay to be lower, which may make the watch window more usable. I have not looked for these or tested them with the latest version, but if you are suffering with Visual Studio's slow watch window, and for some reason don't want to switch to something like RemedyBG, I would encourage you to search on-line for the latest way to edit the watch window delay. It may help you go less insane!
