Lost User

I can tell you my favorite feature of VS 2013 CE: It's free! ;P

The Exit option.

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

That I didn't have to pay for it!

New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 My goal in life is to have a psychiatric disorder named after me. I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Being able to turn off SHOUTY mode and the Dark Side theme. Other than that, it works. It's a little slow at times (compared to VS2010) because it doesn't seem to cache system source and symbols as well, but for the price, it's damn good!

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Sander Rossel

And that specific feature makes it my favourite VS! :D

CodeLens. But it's also my most hated because occasionally it gets itself into a CPU-hogging, memory-hogging mode that just makes VS2013 unusable. When it works it's a wonderful productivity tool, but when it doesn't it's a real pain. It's very much a work in progress, but has great promise. And this is on an i7 laptop with 32GB ram... :(

It's hard to explain, but I like the fact that it's just less buggy than 2012, which is just less buggy than 2010. And every update for 2010, 2012 and 2013 reduces the buggy-ness of the whole thing. Any time you have to go back and use an older version, you will encounter all sorts of random little bugs which aren't present in the current version, and it's not until I have to do that that I really start to appreciate how good the current version is. There was an episode of Top Gear where they were explaining the difference between the Aston Martin DB-9 and the DBS, and discussing why the DBS costs so much more despite being essentially the same car. The way they explained it was that despite being essentially the same, the DBS has all sorts of tiny little tweaks the DB-9 doesn't have. Any one of those tweaks on it's own seems insignificant but when you combine them all together, the DBS is significantly better. That's how I feel about every new version of Visual Studio these days.

The "profile" feature is both annoying and useful. If you sign in you can save/change your "profile"; then if you login on another system, your profile settings will be applied for the session. it's annoying because logging in on another machine invalidates every other system, so if I start it on my laptop, the copy on my desktop will freak out- basically it won't let me use both at once, which makes perfect sense. I worked around this by instead using Visual Studio 2015 on my laptop.

The fact that I can install ReSharper on top of it.
