I'm having trouble with stability in the xaml editor. Restart VS 25 times a day has become tedious. Are there strategies that would minimize the problem or an open source alternative that provides a visual display? Any help would be sincerely appreciated! I don't want to jump out the window but I will... I WILL!
If you don't need the designer, you can just switch to the default editor for XAML files to "Source Code Editor", which still provides completion and is way faster and more responsive.
