Visual Studio is the best

If you're developing on windows it is objectively the wrong choice to not use Visual Studio.

VS doesn't work on macOS and Linux. Emacs works everywhere. I regularly use the same Emacs config across all 3 major OSes.

You can't write code to customize the behavior of VS. It's closed source. The extent of your tinkering is clicking menus and radio buttons like a caveman.

Also, you don't have to marry the IDE you were forced to use. You can use Visual Studio or XCode when you need it for those projects and then use Emacs for everything else.
