I installed Visual Studio Community Edition this weekend...
-
Wow !! Any hiccups/ issues? I have just installed VS2013 express for Web and Desktop on new laptop and haven't started using it. Shall I be uninstalling other express editions first and then install this community ?
Thanks, Milind

If you want to, I guess. Doubt it would hurt. I didn't bother though. ;P

...and I'm very happy with it! :cool: It's basically a completely free amalgamation of all their Express editions, with full plugin and add-in support. One of the first things I've done is install Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova[^]. Wicked stuff. [Edit] For those wondering what Visual Studio Community Edition[^] is [\Edit]
Hi, I'm glad it's working for you ! Isn't there some difference in functionality, or limits, with the Community edition compared to a purchased VS 2013 Pro ? thanks, Bill

I don't know. :~ Haven't found any yet. The only difference is licensing, if that counts. As an individual, you can use it to create/sell whatever you want. Organizational use is limited.

My question as well. I'm running on a 90 day test license for 2013, but if I can get it for free... :)

No difference Bill, apart from the licensing terms. Major awesomeness, esp. after modifying the icons to look like VS2010. :cool: /ravi

I know lots of people do not like it anymore, but is MFC supported or even included with C++? I have never used any of the express editions because they lacked MFC.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!
Yes, it is. /ravi

On Future Decoded 2014 they handed out Gummi Bears to visiting developers...

I would also like to add my irony-free compliments.

I checked it - I can say it's more like a professional edition - for free... A great step from Microsoft - the second in a month - toward the development community...

Hi Bill I'd been wondering the same? "Is it just a less restricted version of Express". But Microsoft themselves have confirmed it's basically "Professional". To quote: "Q: How does Visual Studio Community 2013 compare to other Visual Studio editions? A: Visual Studio Community 2013 includes all the great functionality of Visual Studio Professional 2013, designed and optimized for individual developers, students, open source contributors, and small teams." Look at the Q&A section on: http://www.visualstudio.com/products/visual-studio-community-vs[^]

does that mean I can ditch VS2013 epxpress editions for Windows,Web And Desktop after installing this community edition !!? If yes, that's really great stuff..
Thanks, Milind
Probably only for home or FOSS use; if your business is larger or has more than a handful of devs you'll still need to pay for MSDN. http://www.visualstudio.com/products/visual-studio-community-vs[^]

Only problem I have with it is that .Net 5 is not included.

The individual free Express versions didn't include the optimizer, nor the ability to use IDE addins. I don't know if that's still the case with this community version. Even if they don't include that stuff, its still great to hear that they did this.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
