Ask HN: Which IDE handles very large projects the best?

Most IDEs I use get really slow when working with a large amount of files. Which IDE have you used that handles this problem the best ?

Not an IDE, but vim with ctags is an excellent combination.

Agreed. The Solution Explorer is extremely easy to navigate and the search function is my new best friend (Ctrl + ;). My only grip is that the icons were a lot easier to tell apart in 2010, but I've gotten over that in time.

Additionally, I've had no problems with 30+ large projects in a solution.

Curious regarding which IDE's and how many files.
