#2Fantastic. I was on the fence about lookng at Python in my spare time. Now I'm bound to do it at some point. VS is amazing.

#3I'm a .NET developer so to me this is a slam dunk. How does the Python crowd feel though? I'd guess the majority tend to be Microsoft-adverse. Why wouldn't you use VS when it seems to be so ahead of the competition?

#4For those who have used this:
- Does it perform better than PyCharm?
- How is Windows working for you as an OS (to develop Python on)?

#5I write Python professionally, and it will be pretty hard to get me away from PyCharm. I don't see anything in the blog post that indicates a feature PyCharm doesn't already have.

#6I like VS but is this fundamentally better than PyDev? I've become accustomed to Eclipse so I get auto-complete and full interactive debugging already.

When you say ahead of the competition, what do you mean?
Ive used it before (2005, 2008, 2010), but it was just another IDE. How have things improved?

IntelliSense is pretty good, sure, but emacs is a superior development environment in nearly every other aspect.

2013 was a pretty big jump (IMO) for Visual studio. It added some cool features that I use all the time.
Filtering in the solution explorer. Peeking definition. Code Lens Parallel watch. (Ultimate Only) Number of references listed above the function and tests associate with it.
2015 has some even cooler stuff. It shows memory and cpu usage as you debug any program (tests/console/etc). You can call linq from the watch window (not sure where I saw this buy a key feature that was missing). The built in diagnostics tools are better (I use resharper so I don't really need that).
I also really like some of the built in Code Review tools they have, which you don't need if you do pull requests in git.

...And you get can get autocompletion in Emacs as well, so there's that. Before you ask, I use jedi.
