First impression on Visual Studio 2017

Visual studio 2/017 gets it right this time.
Even the icon looks cool.

Improved startup and improved project load. Lightweight solution loading, and many more enhancements come together to make Visual Studio 2017 start up to 3 times faster than Visual Studio 2015. Solution load times are 2-4 times shorter, and build performance is faster too.

Snappier XAML Editor. It  is snappier, a lot. It’s so much faster than 2015 – lighting faster. This is because Visual Studio 2017 leverages the XAML Language Service’s knowledge of the XAML file to determine the names and types of the fields to populate IntelliSense, and then update the g.i.* file using Roslyn on a background thread.

Dot Lines are awesome in the C# editor and XAML editor.
