Bad dev experience... Any tips?

I am beginning mobile programming with .NET MAUI and I must say the developer experience is really suboptimal because it's sooo slow, the emulator sometimes even doesn't start at all. Starting the app and debugging on a real device is better but it's also not optimal for swift code changes and trying out stuff, especially if someone is new to MAUI. So... How do you all do this? Do you have any tips or best practices like e.g. do only 'Blazor hybrid and web app' and test most of the time only the website version or do ('normal') MAUI with XAML and test most of the time only the WinUI version?! Also, is the developer experience better on Visual Studio or is Rider a lighter IDE thus better suited for swift development?
