VS Code extremely slow

Team,

I was full of hopes trying to follow the installation instructions to start developing.

Not sure why you killed the Eclipse version and switched to VS Code which I hate to the bone because it's not even a joke of an IDE.

Now, I'm trying to generate the very basic watch face project.
Build time takes forever (more than 3 min).
Simulator start takes forever (more than 3 min).
If I need to make any change in the code it takes forever to reload the project (another 3+3 min?!!! are you kidding me?)

I'm on a Win 11, 32Gb RAM, Core i7 13 gen... What gives?

Thanks.

P.S. I have no idea on how to navigate the code or see any code completion in the editor. I have no idea on how to do ANYTHING in this stupid VS Code. Why on earth did you decide to torture yourself?
P.P.S The way 'documentation/guides' are written is another joke.

Was there a lot of clamoring for "recompile the whole project on every keystroke" and I just missed it?

Yeah actually, in the past, new CIQ devs have asked "where are the IDE language…

??? You started out ranting about VS code in your first post.

The description of your issue is buried in the middle of irrelevant ranty stuff.

It would be nice to have an option to turn it on and off. I turn things of in my beta projects, and in the production version everything is turned on. Thanks for the LanguageServer tip, it should beat the moments I grab notepad++ :P

It takes well under 30 seconds to build for a single device or launch the simulator. Suggest it’s your setup rather than VSCode being the issue.
