What is a good year for VS?

I know its not one of your choices but I say 2010 just because I prefer the IDE versus the new. Although I generate my released applications in 2012 but that I do via the command line.

Visual Studio 2013 is mostly better than 2012, only a few negatives I have found: 1. Seems to have issues with creating new MVC4 projects (for me anyway, option is there but they don't build). MVC5 is better anyway, but something to watch out for 2. No ReSharper 7, have to use 8 which means a new license (if you use ReSharper) 3. No Visual SVN 3.5 or older, have to use 4. Maybe none of those affect you, that's what I've found anyway!
Well fads they come and fads they go. And God I love that rock and roll! Well the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss. Life handed us a paycheck, we said, "We worked harder than this!"

I'd recommend 2013 - some of the new features are worth it. See the Jolt awards in Insider News today for details.

I'm doing .net stuff, so VS. As for e*, that can go spend eternity stuffed up Ms H's whatsit! Worse that netbeans, which is saying something.

Both are stable as much as Microsoft product can be. If you will use it for web 2013 has some additions that can help you, otherwise no big differences. In fact 2013 is not more than a 2012 patch, made into separate version because of Microsoft policy - new .NET framework === .NEW VS version!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Vintage 2012 was a tad towards strongly tannic, but, for many, that was balanced by the subtle dandelion-chaff on-the-wing overtones, the top-note of decaying sphagnum moss, and the poignant apres-bouquet of sweaty en flagrante delicto. There are those who claimed they could detect a faint nose of sulphur in its crashes, but we are unable to remember that. Vintage 2013 definitely moves toward the floral side of the spectrum with its fizz-pop-bang of crackling carbonic acid release as it teases you with never quite being "ready," and lighter body, its strange top-note of summer athletic socks worn too many times, and its vivid lingering aroma that some liken to Romanian gymnasts fallen from parallel bars, or left-over Scottish haggis. May we suggest you taste both, without swallowing ? à chacun son goût

When it comes to most Microsoft things nowadays (ribbon bar, WPF, VS2010/12/13, W8, etc) sadly I think that swallowing without tasting delivers a less sour experience, at least initially. Regardless of one's approach though, you'll still suffer from indigestion. Marc

I'm actually just considering this question myself... I'll be updating from VS2008. With their new development cycle, it's going to be hard to keep up with their releases (seem to remember some indication that they were pushing for one release per year).

"...it all went down hill after VS 6.0" This brought back such nice memories!

For example SQL Server Compact Edition support is gone in 2013 so be careful with legacy projects.

I bet there's a joke in there about vintage and whether VS has legs or an oakey finish, but I'm too tired to come up with it. Probably already in the thread anyway, I didn't read all the responses. To answer Nagy's question, I'm on 2010, so can't give an opinion about 12 vs 13.

For my own development I've stayed with VS2008. I use 2010 at the office but that's as far as I've gone with it. VS2008 Standard with Active Reports 6 and the Sandcastle help builder makes a dynamite development environment. I put a little under $1000 into those things a few years back and I have not run into any glass ceilings or anything that make me even remotely interested in an upgrade.

Yes there is an update in the .net for VS2013 to confirm that post I like 2012 and 2013 the intellisense in C++ for myself I suppose that's preference though and the snippets features are improved also I use the snippets designer to add them I suppose you could just manipulate the XML yourself Microsoft explains the method on developer site. All in all there are more features to choose from but I'm still not sold that 2013 is that much better. I'm sure I'll discover more features and decide it is but either of them are improvement over 2010.
