as a newish dev (eventually I'll work my way to vim), I really enjoy using Visual Studio, and my wallet is very happy that they decided to release a Community edition. Microsoft has been making some great strides lately - keep it up!

If my understanding is correct you're using VS and writing C#. If that's the case it's just stupid to use VIM. Let me tell you one thing: Using VIM will not make you "pro hacker". It won't even make you more productive, probably.

Please don't call people stupid just because you don't like their workflow. BTW, you can use a Vim emulation layer in VS.

Have a look at VSVim it is a Vim emulation layer for VS if you are really into Vim.

Appears to be available here: https://www.dreamspark.com/Product/Product.aspx?productid=10...

Didn't DreamSpark used to have the Pro edition? Now for both 2013 and 2015 it's the community edition

The Community edition is basically Pro, with different licensing. From what I understand, that's the version that would make the most sense for the target audience of DreamSpark (college students) anyway.

I would have thought that community would replace express, but there still seems to be an express edition.

You can use Express at work (5+ devs) but not Community.

You can use Community at work as long as you are a small enterprise (less than 5 dev) and you make less than some (huge) amount per year.

I love how the VS2013 update 5 is 6.1GB where you can download the full version of Ultimate with update 5 and it's only 4.8GB.

1990s me would be blown away that VS could be this big. I'd be even more impressed that my work fiber downloaded it at 10.2MB/sec (yes MB not Mb).

$1 million annual revenue isn't exactly a huge amount.

Warning to anyone using Windows 2012 Server R2 as your workstation - if you install Microsoft Emulator for Android, it enables Hyper-V which will cause your video drivers to no longer work since Hyper-V replaces your video card with a virtual one (or something like that).

[deleted]

I used Server 2012 with Hyper-V enabled on this very same machine, with no problem.

Something changed in R2 because as soon as I enable it and reboot, my video card is no longer recognized, the 2nd display doesn't work and when I go to re-install the video drivers (nVidia Quadro 600), it can't find the card.

I'm pretty sure that I called Microsoft or otherwise got definitive information from them that there was no fix for the problem, so that's when I decided to just use Virtual Box for my VM needs and that has been working out for me.

Pretty sure if you make more than 1mil per year you can afford to buy VS. The community edition is intended for indies, hobbyists and small enterprises.

Has anyone done anything interesting with Roslyn to date (v1 is mentioned in the notes)?

I was working on a large enterprise application that had a dynamically generated data model, so all data access was done through strings. So much of the code looked like dictionary accesses "if(car[Constants.Wheels"].ContainsKey[Constants.FrontLeftWheel])" Now unfortunately there was not just one constants file, this application numbered nearly 60 projects and each one possessed a constants file and people added stri…

Do you think you could write a blog post about this? Finding interesting uses for Roslyn may help drive its use in the community. Plus, that just sounds interesting.
