I've found VSCode and dotnet 5/core be amazingly liberating from the the slow bloated mess that is Visual Studio and the old .NET Framework. This is the way it should have always been, but I'm happy we finally got here.
No more need for VS really or any other proprietary bloatware.
First thing I do on new machine is `choco install vscode` then it synces my extensions and I am ready to roll. As extra benefit `code` is usable ASAP in CLI and I can pipe anything to it.
