    After installing VS 2017 RC and using it briefly, the following comment: This RC version is very light on resources. It is not the slow, cumbersome resource hog that we had in the 2015 Community edition. It takes up a fraction of the disk space compared to 2015 and loads faster. XAML Styler: I am quite impressed with this third party tool that can be installed for the 2017 version. Using it enables you to standardize aspects like indentation in XAML files in a flash. You can find it here: (There are versions available for earlier releases of VS as well.) XAML Styler[^]

      As it was explained by Microsoft, they broke the VS package to small pieces to make it load faster... Now a lot of things were previously loaded at the startup will be added (by you probably) as extensions and will be loaded on request...

          Hmmm, sounding promising. makes me strongly consider waiting a couple more years and just skip 15. The installer was still include-everything-regardless, and on use (testing) sometimes felt like paddling a cast iron canoe shaped like a brick shithouse through a puddle of piss. Sure the new 15 features are nice, but nothing vital right now and for some clients off the table anyway.

            I installed it couple of days ago, Should we have to attach the process manually when debugging? And Unable to start IIS express also. :(

                Been using it several months now and very happy with it.

                  Disagree. You and I can deal with being frequently prompted to add/enable/whatever additional features without trouble. So can anyone who should be allowed to program (although obviously the idiots who get their questions flamed to death in QA or deleted on SO show there's a large gap between who should and who tries to program). The world of clueless people OTOH can't be trusted to push even a single button. That sort of complexifying is way too much for them. And would be even if we could ignore all the existing executables that assume they have every windows feature present by default and don't need to request they be enabled before calling them.

                  Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
