Uninstall VS2012
-
So now that a few of the die hards have probably been running with VS2013 for a while now and have been running the final release since it became available last week, is it in you opinion safe to uninstall VS2012? Or is there something fundamentally broken that says "no hang onto VS2012 that bit longer"? (I'm talking about PRO versions if that makes any difference). Cheers,

No matter what versions of VS I've used, be it Express or Ultimate I've had nothing but problems trying to uninstall Visual Studio/other stuff it installs. When I upgraded to VS2012 I did a fresh intall of Windows 7 just so I didn't run into the problems you hear about from having two versions installed.

The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

I've just been reading about 'what's new in VS2013'. The only thing that caught my imagination is edit-and-continue in 64 bit. Is it worth upgrading?

I really like the delegating constructors and default template arguments. The variadic templates may come in useful. Apparently there are some speed improvements; hopefully intellisense is one of them.

Since I have dated projects, I keep all Visual Studio versions back to 2008. Though, if I buy an SSD and do an OS reinstall, I'll just put on VS 2013.

Nothing is ever really uninstalled. Don't bother trying.

I'd like to have a separate box for the database server and keep them off my development system entirely. Maybe some day.

Why uninstall it. I have all 2005-2008-2010-2012-2013 installed on same machine side-by-side. I think you have to ask yourself "should I install 2013?", in first place. 2013 has very few new things (for sure it's not a new version worth a whole number). I found two features useful: 1. Inline editing of referenced type (if it's in your code) - it nice but not a must have 2. 64 bit edit and continue (which is only good if you in win development) After playing around with it an reading about it I can tell you two main differences: 1. If you want the new framework you must have a new VS (it's not new, we saw it at every VS-.NET version) 2. MSBuild no more part of .NET framework (so the only way to build is use VS!) I have 20 years of experience with Microsoft - and the last 3 years I'm concerned about the way...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

Please correct me if I'm wrong but MSBuild available as a separate download[^] Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 Developer Pack[^] allows developing for .net 4.5.1 in VS2012

You just right... I'm talking about a bad feeling... It's bothers me how Microsoft handles us (developers)... You see I had lot of chats with Microsoft's support persons according bugs, and that too add to this bad feeling. It's maybe because I had too much Microsoft in 20 years...:~

Microsoft has been promising improvements in Intellisense for C++ developers since Visual C++ 6.0. I haven't seen any yet from the lying fucks.

I need to convince the bean counters to buy me a Resharper upgrade first. :sigh:

I'm diskspace limited, and junk old versions whenever everything I had to support them for is updated to the newest version. Currently got 2003-2008-2010-2012 installed; and I'm hoping to get the last major 2003 project (finally) updated later this year. Hopefully I'll be able to boot 2008 within a year too.

I am really looking forward to the AngularJS intellisense built into 2013.

Installed it this morning absolute disaster! Even trying to create the most basic MFC program (just the Wizard project output) ends up with a stack of errors. Looks as though testing must be virtually non-existent for native code. 2012 was fine Seems to be pulling out 2010 include - fixable but a real mess! Microsoft the company that likes to disappoint.....

IMO VS2013 is not less stable than 2012...

Was this intended as a reply to me? I don't see how anything I wrote could be read as a comment on stability.
