You can now use "extensions" in the community edition and you can create whatever project you want, without installing 3 different versions of Visual Studio.

Which makes Visual Studio actually attractive for a community edition (the express edition is deprecated though - that's a good thing).

Express isn't depricated

>Visual Studio Express 2015 editions. (Non-enterprise customers are encouraged to check out Visual Studio Community 2015, which is also free and provides a more comprehensive solution)

That's pretty much the definition of "deprecated".

It might seem that way... but "non-enterprise" based on the Community Edition's licensing terms is basically just open-source + hobbyist use. Your company becomes 'enterprise' the moment it surpasses $1 million of revenue. Not even revenue from software created, revenue period.

The Express Edition isn't officially deprecated, but the role in which it makes sense is pretty small. It only makes sense in organizations with more than 5 devs (or enterprise organizations of any size, but those will also probably generally have more than 5 devs) that aren't doing open source work and for some reason don't want to spring for a paid version.

Been hearing a lot about Visual Studio 2015 recently, as far as I am aware it is not even in Beta yet...

I am a .Net developer in a Corporate IT job, so I am exactly in the demographic Microsoft aims for as users (not buyers though). Visual Studio is hands down the best IDE, period.

The pricing is absolutely, absolutely insane.
