Uninstall VS2012
-
So now that a few of the die hards have probably been running with VS2013 for a while now and have been running the final release since it became available last week, is it in you opinion safe to uninstall VS2012? Or is there something fundamentally broken that says "no hang onto VS2012 that bit longer"? (I'm talking about PRO versions if that makes any difference). Cheers,

I need to convince the bean counters to buy me a Resharper upgrade first. :sigh:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I've just been reading about 'what's new in VS2013'. The only thing that caught my imagination is edit-and-continue in 64 bit. Is it worth upgrading?

The improved lazy loading of solutions looks promising. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2013/10/14/asynchronous-solution-load-performance-improvements-in-visual-studio-2013.aspx[^]

Why uninstall it. I have all 2005-2008-2010-2012-2013 installed on same machine side-by-side. I think you have to ask yourself "should I install 2013?", in first place. 2013 has very few new things (for sure it's not a new version worth a whole number). I found two features useful: 1. Inline editing of referenced type (if it's in your code) - it nice but not a must have 2. 64 bit edit and continue (which is only good if you in win development) After playing around with it an reading about it I can tell you two main differences: 1. If you want the new framework you must have a new VS (it's not new, we saw it at every VS-.NET version) 2. MSBuild no more part of .NET framework (so the only way to build is use VS!) I have 20 years of experience with Microsoft - and the last 3 years I'm concerned about the way...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

I'm diskspace limited, and junk old versions whenever everything I had to support them for is updated to the newest version. Currently got 2003-2008-2010-2012 installed; and I'm hoping to get the last major 2003 project (finally) updated later this year. Hopefully I'll be able to boot 2008 within a year too.

I am really looking forward to the AngularJS intellisense built into 2013.

Installed it this morning absolute disaster! Even trying to create the most basic MFC program (just the Wizard project output) ends up with a stack of errors. Looks as though testing must be virtually non-existent for native code. 2012 was fine Seems to be pulling out 2010 include - fixable but a real mess! Microsoft the company that likes to disappoint.....

IMO VS2013 is not less stable than 2012...

Was this intended as a reply to me? I don't see how anything I wrote could be read as a comment on stability.

Yes, uninstall VS2012 and go back to VS2010, you'll be a lot happier.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Stick each in their own VM. Sorted.

So now that a few of the die hards have probably been running with VS2013 for a while now and have been running the final release since it became available last week, is it in you opinion safe to uninstall VS2012? Or is there something fundamentally broken that says "no hang onto VS2012 that bit longer"? (I'm talking about PRO versions if that makes any difference). Cheers,

I've actually got 2010, 2012 and 2013 installed -- mainly because of other people: if I'm working on their code, I have to stick to whatever they're using... the good news is that all three of them seem to coexist just fine -- no problems yet...

Dunno for VS2012, but as a lesson from earlier versions, go grab some food and prepare for several hours for uninstalling.

I normally run VS from a VM so I never have to uninstall them. Just get a new VM and run the new version. If you don't like it, junk the VM. If you like it, run the VMs in parallel. I still like VS9 (2008). It is so much better than VS10 (2010) and VS11(2012). It is also a lot faster. VS10, 11 and 12 are as slow as Eclipse i.e. they takes at least 2 minutes to start on a netbook. Compare that with the speed of VS6, 7.1, 8, 9 - they're up in about 10s!
