Who the hell are you to be the judge of this guy's face??

That is a REAL person you are picking on. How would you feel if someone said those sorts of things about you. This is a person with feelings who can't help looking the way he looks?

I am not going to unsubscribe I am just bringing out a YELLOW CARD warning for now.

this was unironically my reaction to that link

my card is yellow with stripes though

i think at the point that VS becomes more viable over ISE you probably should just be writing c#

eh, i use vs because most of my ps scripts are build related and I'm already in there so why switch editors.

that website is like the library of Alexandria, when it tanks devs will lose like 90% of their knowledge

i sometimes wish it would all burn down so that people stop following bad advice from 7 years ago

no, eg restrict isn't in c++. can't comment on whether it's a dumb line to draw, that's probably a question of logistics and business for the MSVC compiler team.

it's a goddamn dumb line to draw

did you ever see the blog post justifying it?

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2012/06/05/a-design-with-all-caps/

my favorite is "1) to keep Visual Studio consistent with the direction of other Microsoft user experiences". I can't think of any other app that had all caps menu titles, must have ditched that UX path pretty quickly, even Azure portal doesn't seem to have them anymore

Microsoft could have done a revised Win32 application framework for .NET and then used that in Visual Studio and all their other applications and had a moderately consistent human interface, you know like they did in 1995 with Windows 95 and Office 95 and Visual C++ 4 and whatever version Visual BASIC was at the time

instead, not long after they shipped Windows XP, they just gave up completely and decided to not only let each and every one of their applications do its own thing but actually force every application to do a bunch of styling by not providing a decent "just like the OS" baseline for their various attempts at .NET interface frameworks

and having a consistent look & feel with a UI framework that enables it has been the first lesson in Platform Management 101 since 1983
