Recently Microsoft released Visual studio 22. I've been wanting to start doing chili's beginner c++ video series tutorials. Would it be better to use visual studio 22 or Visual studio 19 for the tutorials?

I'm still using VS2019 for a while until bugs have been worked out of VS2022.

To be transparent, I was using VS2017 up until about 3 months ago. I have been doing this since VS2010 and each time upgrading ( 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 ) each one has had their quirks for the first few months. The most memorable for me was going from VS2015 to VS2017. I really liked how fast 2015 was and easy navigating around the editor was. VS2017 was slower on my computer when it first was released and navigating the editor was slightly different. After a few complaints from the community ( not just me ) VS2017 became just a better VS2015. VS2019 has become pretty similar, I don't even notice it's not VS2017 or VS2015 anymore, with the exception that it handles the newer C++17/20 features a lot better than VS2015/17.

Thanks everyone. Ive just decided to download VisualStudio 22 and it seems to work pretty great. The framework still works pretty great.

Yeh I've been using 2019 for a while - I think since 2020. It's great. It was either 2015 or 2017 that was a turd. I think 2015 and 2017 fixed that up and 2019 is just better again. I imagine 2022 should be good.
