I'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?

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?
I work in Visual Studio exclusively for my day job the last 8 years so my experience is pretty limited. But every time I try out other languages and IDEs on my own time, I'm almost shocked at how hard the tools are to work with compared with Visual Studio. VS has excellent intellisense. Compile and runtime errors are clearly pointed out, usually with helpful error messages. And real-time debugging and being able to s…
Also, even as a front-end guy, I was able to debug fairly complex applications because the compiling errors are so clearly laid out where they are and hints on how to resolve them.
I've used nearly every IDE imaginable and I've found VS's intellisense to be second to none.
I work at a .Net shop and wanted to build a developer tool with python for my colleagues. None of them have a python interpreter so it needs to compile to an .exe I've googled for hours on how to do this with IronPython but the information is incredibly sparse and outdated. Is there any way to do this currently?

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…
I assume those features are strictly for the MS stack. Am I wrong? Do they work with Python? In terms of costs, what do you pay for it (including the OS)?

Microsoft + Python = Ironpython. !Cred.
This support for Python in VS may be a step in that direction.
PyCharm is a good Python IDE. You can get a lot of these features in Emacs (or try Spacemacs), or Vim, or Sublime (with plugins).
1.) Is the foundational work that has gone into this going to be used to help support intellisense in other languages in the future?
2.) Will any of this make it into Visual Studio Code?
IronPython. Might trick me once... won' let u trick me twice.
