Poisonous name? Are you referring to Visual Studio? That's widely considered as one of the best IDEs around.

Yes. At the same time it's hated by many anti-MS folks, especially in the Linux/OS X crowd.

I don’t know any anti-MS folks anymore. Those who were that generally stopped hating MS when MS stopped being a threat to the existence of their preferred platform, or to open source in general.

If people hate it just because they're "anti-MS" instead of based on product qualities then it's not the name that's poisonous.

If people choose to hate it for fanboy reasons that's their loss.
