    I'm just using it on my personal side project, so I probably use it maybe 3 hrs a week tops. If I had to use it 8 hrs a day for my work (especially if it was 99% WPF), I'd be hatin'... From one WPF guy to another, I would not use this in a professional environment right now. Too buggy still. I do like the runtime "Spy++" type tool that can hyperlink to the element in the XAML... kind of cool, but also kind of kludge to use with the weird focus behavior. Switching properties at runtime? I guess if you're debugging something that's hard to repro... I would call VS2013 "rock solid"... if that is the basis for a "10", I'd give this a 2 or 3 in the **WPF areas**.

    That is certainly not going to happen, EVERY tool goes through evaluation before it is allowed into the selected product list and they have no sense of urgency on any product.

      It works well and doesn't look like MS DOS 3.1

      If it's not broken, fix it until it is

        I do C# and WPF work. I don't know what they did to the XAML parser in VS2015, but it flat out stinks. It blue squiggles pretty much everything intermittently, gives random / incorrect errors intermittently, etc. There are a few other nitpicks in the general environment, but this is pretty much unusable. Very disappointed. Any other WPF people seeing the same thing?

          I will keep using Windows 7, Office 2010, and VS2010 until Microsoft makes something better, but I am beginning to think that I will have to wait quite a long time... :(

            What has changed (major changes) between VS2012 and VS2015 which will force anyone to move to it? I am not talking about release notes but from a regular user point of view.

              I developed my final year project in VS2010, it really works well. Using VS2012 these days on work place, VS12 too is cool Ain't intend to use VS2015 in future

                I was looking forward to the support for C++11 in the C++ compiler. Given that it is developed by a different team, I hope that it's better than the C#/WPF stuff.

                    The common difference between, lets say, Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio 2015 is new language and frameworks support. C# 6, ASP.NET 5, ASP.NET MVC 6 etc are the new things added to Visual Studio. I am not sure what happened to WPF, I am also a fan of WPF but I also use Visual Studio 2013 until now. :laugh: The only thing that I love of Visual Studio 2015, is the debugger and debugging tools. Provides a great set of tools and resources for working while debugging. :-) Hey, if designing is your major field, why don't you try Blend? Creating a UI by using Blend for Visual Studio[^] :-)

                        I converted to VS 2013 recently(from 2010). It is well worth the upgrade.

                          From my point of view, the integrated XAML debugging was something that was badly missing in earlier VS editions - I raised the original Connect request for this as a vNext feature back in 2008. Given how horrible and slow the 2015 experience is, I will continue to wait to use this feature.

                            If you like VS 2010 then 2013 is fine with the blue theme. I hated the default grey. But now I love VS 2013. I've installed VS 2015 but not really used it yet besides running a Hello World console app. I always do that as a sanity check after an install.

                                        You aren't by chance using Resharper are you? I had a similar experience once I turned off Resharper all was fine. I think the latest version of Resharper has eliminated the issues. Brad

                                          That he is still batshit crazy.

                                          What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
