Doesn't seem to have licenses available for BizSpark accounts yet?

EDIT: If I check my email, I get an answer

    All BizSpark members who have an active Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN
    subscription will see that their subscription has been automatically converted to
    Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 with MSDN when Visual Studio 2015 is released.

I'm really loving how the refactor and generate stuff has developed over the years. It is such a different experience these days and I'm probably at least five times as productive as a result of it. First we had no refactor tools at all, and how we survived I'll never now Then basic refactor tools where introduced. You could call up a dialog to do explicit refactoring.

Background compiling and live-updating is now here with Rosyln powered builds.

EDIT: actually I'm not sure if this only applies to ASP.NET 5 which constantly builds in the background in-memory...

Hmm, in what sense, or do you mean it's feasible now? I was thinking that whenever I press F5 it should instantly run. It's insane that the computer just loiters around and doesn't compile until you explicitly tells it to, when it could do incremental background compiling... especially since the editor pretty much does that anyway to provide its intellisense and stuff. The build process seems very separated from the editor. Guess it's more complicated with app that's deployed to devices though.

Live-editing I was thinking more like I could change parameters and methods and have the reflect directly in an running app. Edit-and-continue has been around for a while but doesn't work on apps ... for probably natural reasons. Eclipse seems to have stuff like that

"continuous background compiling and "live-updating" ... I use .net demon for this. It also does auto-save.

Well, Resharper is available since VS2003 if not earlier. It has what VS2015 has to offer and more. Including extracting code into methods and classes. I can't even image the pain developing without it (at least before VS 2015).

I don't see upgrade pricing mentioned anywhere - If one already has Visual Studio 2013 Pro with MSDN (active), is it necessary to repurchase to get 2015?

If you have an active msdn, you should see 2015 now in subscriber downloads along with any product keys.

You should be able to get VS2015 Professional as part of your subscripton
