Well, I'm about to install Visual Studio on my restored win7 install. Is there anything about vs15 (community edition) I should know about? Should I bother installing VS2013 "just in case"?

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???

I like VS2015 Community Edition. It's a little slower than VS2012, but not to the extent that it bothers me, but I suppose the speed of your machine is important. It has some nice new features that I like. Projects created in 2015 can be opened unaltered in 2012 and vice versa. But I believe projects created in versions before 2012 will be permanently modified on loading.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
That feature goes back to VS 2010 SP1 actually.

I just started it, messed around with a small C++ project and just left it sit for a couple of hours. Came back and unlocked the machine, tried to go back to the VS window and it crashed. Little things like that on my home Win10 machine and at work on Win8.1. A day doesn't go by where VS2015 hasn't crashed on me at least once.

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013I have just set up a new, slightly more powerful home development machine. I installed Windows 7 on it and then went ahead and installed VS 2015 Community Edition with no apparent issues. I am now debating whether that was a good idea and if I should have put VS 2013 on it, as I have on my old dev machine, since 2013 doesn't bug me about that darned cloud thingy all the time! ...and I had just got used the poor visual-quality of the UI only to have it get worse!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Be warned - the install takes for bloody ever... I've twice installed it and twice uninstalled it (and, btw, uninstalling takes just as long...) - and am sticking to 2012 for now. It's ok, I guess, I just don't like the way it seems to push you towards the cloud all the time. Once it wouldn't even load because it said it couldn't connect to my Microsoft account... even though that resolved itself in the end, that was the final straw for me.

My caveat is that uninstalling it can be impossible. I had it on a VM which would not run the uninstall at all. It would just blink away when you tried to uninstall. I needed diskspace so I finally just brute-force deleted it. At the time I Googled for answers about it and this problem of uninstalling is more prevalent and more painful than I'd ever expected.

I do have constant lock ups that last around 90 seconds and this weird cmd.exe window keeps appearing!

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013I have VS 2015 installed on my Win 10 home PC - 3 Ghz quad core Athlon with 12 Gb RAM and it runs fine. Can't recall ever having any crashes. Also had it shoe-horned onto a low-end tablet (also Win 10 - 1Gb RAM and 16Gb storeage...) and, while slow(ish) I was somewhat surprised to find it was perfectly usable when partnered with a USB keyboard. I wouldn't voluntarily choose to go back to VS 2013. But then, I'm just a hobbyist tinkerer.. :-D

Get a Windows 10 development environment - Windows app development[^] I used Hyper-V. I've been using VS2013 for a good while and had no problem opening and woking on my solutions using VS2015 in the VM. It's still too early for me to completely move to VS2015 for daily development though.

I use 2013 at home at at work, the only problems I have had with it are that occasionally intellisense stops functioning(a restart of VS2013 fixes it) - so I would go with VS2013.

I cant tell if the first 2013 is a typo - else i read this as - 2013 intellisense breaks - so use 2013.
You read it correctly - no typo and I did basically say that 2013 breaks, however from what I have read it breaks less frequently than 2015 so with the restart option I am okay with that.

Update 1 ruined VS2015 for me. Constant crashes, windows that wouldn't open, etc. After uninstalling Update 1 everything was fine (again). The only problem I have with VS2015 is that it is slooooooow. Let me rephrase that: It's SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! In case you didn't get the message, it's really very very very very very very very very SLOW. Oh, yeah, it's also slow.
