VS 2015 CE Update 2
-
I have been using Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition for some time and am generally pleased with it. Yesterday I noticed Update 2 for it was available. So I set it to install with some other features (like Azure stuff). I should have known what to expect when the upgrade took nearly 2 hours! Once it was done, I ran a brief test and it seems to work OK, although VS took a little longer to load. But then I checked my systems drive. I had 30 GB (that is thirty-giga-bytes) less free space. :omg: Fortunately I have lots of spare space on the drive. But 30GB for an upgrade!? Wow! VS is really getting more bloated every year.

Admittedly I don't know much about Xamarin, but I thought it existed to make you able to write .NET code everywhere? Android, MAC etc?

That's pretty much it - and it's free inside VS 2015 Update 2. It's a big piece of software, so it pushes sizes up.

Yep, same experience here...even after downloading and running from the iso, two installs on two different machines were 2+ hours each. I really haven't started using it yet, just a POC for an Android app using Xamarin, and another POC for a IVR/softphone app. I still use VS 2010 for most stuff. :)

Improved? Really? My God, it must have been horrible before.

some of that is probably temporary stuff that can be deleted and it's probably also the update install download which can be deleted. But, yeah, it's bigger.

For improved, read "Free" ;)

And all I want to do, is to re-engineer a simple Windows WPF desktop app into an Apple desktop app. And for all its bloated size, VS2015 Update 2 does not seem able of this simple task! Xamarin is all about iOS and Android. It does not seem to have any capability to output anything for Apple desktops. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargggggh!
