Please, remind me how the green dude in the left top corner (which is now with the 2 bats , the white cloth and the cute bag) was named ?

Okay, I realize I'm late to the party with this realization, but still... I've stuck with web forms and server side C# for years because it felt like a 'normal' development environment. Now I remember why. I'm in the land of mvc, javascript, jquery, etc., at which point I need to set breakpoints, inspect variables, you know, the things one would expect a development environment to allow. And you can't set breakpoints or debug javascript in VS 2012. I had to install Firebug in order to get a debugger. Are you freakin' kidding me? If the Firefox / Firebug team can debug javascript, then it's clearly possible. So how is it that the VS team is so incompetent that they can't provide this most basic functionality in what's supposed to be a professional class development environment? Please, for the love of Bob, would someone come up with a cross platform application designed to run global tcp/ip programs (i.e. a replacement for the crappy app VM known as a browser)? Web browsers, html, javascript et al comprise the most amateur hour environment I've ever seen. I had better tools coding for DOS.

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Yep, it sucks that you can't do that from VS. I just use the old IE F12 and set breakpoints there. At least you can see what is going on, or verify that events are firing...which is one of my gripes with IE10 at the moment.
