There were no "performance penalties" to speak of related to the GUI layer. IDE UI is not doing anything crazy to be performance bound. And I've (like millions of others) have used it in 2003-era PCs, with spinning platter HDs.

What indeed was, were some penalties of the GC kicking in (unrelated to UI widgets). Still nothing a .NET app wouldn't have (and I've used SharpDevelop as well back in the day).

There is always a penalty for JNI. Also Visual Studio has never been written in C#. But why ever Eclipse was dog slow - it was.

Visual Studio is mostly written in C# since the WPF rewrite with VS2010.

You should learn the history of tools that you so agressively argue for.
