MQL5-compilation slow, MetaEditor outdated, VSC-integration limited

 

Dear MetaQuotes,

you seems to be putting much effort into what you probably would call improvements under the hood: into the compiler.

From users' perspective, however, the compiler is all right. Or at least it was. It seems to be getting slower and slower and changing the rules of the game, breaking users' codes from time to time without  compelling reason.

Please:

1. Make the compiler faster again (especially at "Maximum Optimization" it's agonizingly slow)

2. Make MetaEditor a modern IDE people want to work with again. Keyword-occurrence-highlighting, code-folding etc. are all missing...

3. Because MetaEditor feels so outdated, people escape to VSC, making use of https://www.metatrader5.com/en/metaeditor/help/beginning/integration_ide#compiler. However, this only allows the said, especially slow "Maximum Optimization"-mode. Please make the "No Optimization Mode" available as a Windows Terminal command and hence Visual Studio Code (VSC) compilation mode.

Thank you.
