I am not misunderstanding. No one is saying there is no value in saving
that start up time. But you listed that as *more* important than many
other features that actually help a lot (and thus save time a lot) when
you code, or debug programs.
Oh and there are excuses for poor start up times. I am not gonna explain
them because it would get technical and long.
I'm just going to add that Visual Studio 11 can start up in less than a
second. Visual Studio 2010 could take well towards 10 seconds (and
sometimes more if you have many extensions). They solved the problem
simply by lazy-loading almost everything they could. It turns out that
the majority of stuff that most IDEs load on startup isn't going to be
used during a session, so it's just wasted time.
