Need more than a debugger and an editor but not as big and comprehensive as we have now like VS or Eclipse... I could definitely do with lighter versions with limited functionalities and keep adding whatever I need
Much better to have a lighter IDE that works faster than one with whole lot of features eating both space and memory

You would be surprised, I think. I know I don't use all the features of VS, but even the simplest ones (like auto indent) make such a difference, that I really, really wouldn't want to lose them - the productivity increase you get is hard to believe.

I know and love those features but they for me are more like a part of the editor (refer to Notepad++ or vim)... What I referred to was a number of other features that are hardly or very rarely used in specific project types.
A person using VS for C++ is less likely to use for J# or some other language (not a very good example but I hope you get what I want to say)

Amen to that, (an odd turn of phrase for an Atheist, but ...).
I really wish more software was modular, so it was possible to avoid features you never use impacting the speed of use.

I like VisualStudio.
It kind of gives a lot of functionality without killing the IDE.
If we talk about VS addins we must mention Resharper.
I actually bought a version of ReSharper a couple of years ago but its overkill... it literally kills the IDE no matter what the machine is.
At the time a ReSharper salesman told me that the next version would be a lot faster (at the time v4 to v4.5)... eh, it kept the same.
So bottom line, for me an addin is considered good not only for its functionality but also for the way it keeps it self unnoticed on the overall IDE performance.

I agree with the ReCrapper bit. Truly worthless software IMHO. The idea is great, but like you said, it kills the IDE.

I'm a big resharper fan and I use it whenever possible, but I must admit I had to disable project analysis on a few larger projects. Also, even with v6, asp.net support isn't so great. However, I mostly do backend work with some winforms and now WPF. I rarely work on solutions larger than 500k loc. In my specific situation it works well and once I got used to the keyboard shortcuts, it started saving me a lot of time.

I want fully featured IDE because those features gives us comfort and for comfort only human being is developing so many things.

That way it takes me a lot longer to get where I'm going and I drop crap a long the way. Kind of like using a text editor exclusively.

OK you made the mistake of posting this to a forum full of programmers
However, no one has yet to catch your design flaw. I guess they're not as good as me.
"...and I drop crap along the way" is an implicit statement in one regard and explicit in the other. Implicit in that some may conclude it is the horse that is dropping crap along the way. Explicit, in that the buggy has a toilet seat instead of a regular seat and you are, in fact, dropping crap along the way.
Now, since many people still use Internet Explorer, which is also known as "IE", the initials "IE" can also be used in this sense in that the statement can be both Implicit and Explicit, or "IE".
Since "IE" (Internet Explorer) itself is crappy, one might conclude that you're dropping 3x crap along the way which is, as you noted, "Kind of like using a text editor" after all.
I rest my (crappy) case.

If it's buggy you want, you can't do much better than VS.

Sadly not.  I uninstalled it pretty much the same day I tried it out.

Funny, I always thought horse's did drop a lot of crap along the way.
Still, my first quick scan misread it that you prefer your IDE "hung like a horse". The mind boggles.
