I worked in Visual Studio full-time for many years, now I'm coding in PhpStorm (IntelliJ IDEA) since July 2019, and while overall it's really powerful, I still kind of miss VS. One notable problem I have with PhpStorm is that oftentimes when I'm trying to find files or text in files, I press the respective keyboard shortcut and start typing immediately, in WebStorm the first few letters often end up being typed into the currently opened file instead of the "Find..." dialog, which never happened to me in VS. A minor issue, but it occurs every single day.
A similar thing makes me go nuts in Windows as well - in Windows 7 I pressed the WinKey and started typing immediately to find an application, never had a problem, but Windows 10 often misses the first few keystrokes after the Start menu opens. I can't believe this hasn't been fixed for years.
Windows 10 start menu is so bad I cut it out from every Windows machine I have any authority over. Try Keypirinha, it's very snappy and supports fuzzy search.
Why is it bad? It lists installed apps alphabetically, almost the same way all the previous Windows versions did and it has a search field to find an app quickly (AFAIK it can also search through other things but I always disable indexing and integrated web search functionality). How often do you even have to use it? I've just pinned everything I use regularly to the task bar and only use the start menu on rare occasions.
