Visual Studio 2022 GA: 64-bit Era Begins

Alongside .NET 6, Visual Studio 2022 is now GA. It is the first 64-bit version of the IDE.

I tested it by opening a solution with 100 projects. In VS 2019, this would cause “Out of Memory” crashes or massive lag. In VS 2022, it used 5GB of RAM and stayed buttery smooth. IntelliCode also now completes entire lines.

Hot Reload is also a standout feature – you can now update C# code while the app is running (even inside the debugger) without restarting.
