For me, .NET Core and ASP.NET 5 are the most exciting things going on in this space at the moment. On Linux, it's all still too buggy to be usable in beta5 (the version shipping with VS2015), but the vibe I'm getting from the weekly standups is they are going to start prioritizing this very soon and it's going to be very usable on a 3-month time frame.

Uh, so if I'm interpreting everything correctly indie developers for Windows/Phone 8/10 can use community edition. The only feature really missing is TFS/Code Lens). That's pretty great! no need for me to keep paying for Professional. (The Windows 10 stuff won't be available until July 29)
Intellitrace is also missing. I've heard great things about it, but have never used it due to the cost
Ah, Intellitrace is pretty neat but I must confess I very seldom use it. For some scenarios it might be crucial but for most app development I think you can manage without it

#45Does anyone know if the RTM version will be able to upgrade to the full version once it is released? Also, will it be able to install updates later on?
RTM = Release to Manufacturing = full version.
How about my release candidate that I installed about a month back? Will it update automatically? Does it even need to? Did anything change?

#46Has anyone done anything interesting with Roslyn to date (v1 is mentioned in the notes)?
I think LINQPad now uses Roslyn.
I would be great if this would trigger a flurry of VBA-style IDE to use VB/C#/F# in Excel or any major non Microsoft software!

#47There are more details about the .NET 4.6 release on the .NET blog [1] [1] http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2015/07/20/announcing...
Glad to that developement on WPF has not stagnated.

http://source.roslyn.io is pretty cool and the Omnisharp IDE uses Roslyn

#49I am so scarred from trying to develop an ASP.NET vNext website using the VS 2015 preview releases. The project templates never synced with the tagged code in github, and there were endless bugs. Is it stable now? By that I mean, can I reliably override one of the ASP.NET vNext libraries from source?

Will it update automatically?
Not as far as I know.
Does it even need to?
Prereleases expire. You'll probably need to upgrade.
Did anything change?
A fair bit, yeah. Not sure if you'll notice, but things will be different and a lot of stuff may not work correctly.
