Can version 2015 of Visual Studio still be installed
-
Currently I'm using version 2015 if Visual Studio and was wondering if anything happened to my computer and I had to reinstall Visual Studio then would I still be able to install version 2015. I remember that you run a small program that caused it to download and install itself (unless there is a way to download the complete file for storage) I was told that there were some issues with version 2017 so I'm staying with version 2015 at the moment.

Yes, you can: Download Older Visual Studio Software | Visual Studio - Visual Studio[^] and I'd agree that 2017 wasn't good (but neither was 2015 which is why my "revert to" version is 2013) The latest though - 2019 - seems pretty solid to me so far, and has some very nice bits and bobs. BUT. If you have several version on your system, then must be installed "earliest first" or they will give problems (MS says so, and my experience in the past bears that out)

I've been using 2017 for quite a while now and have not come across any issues. Maybe I don't use it enough.
Maybe it was just the early versions (or an interaction with the other crap on my system) but when I originally installed it, "flaky" was a good word to describe it. Weird UI glitches, disappearing code, crash to desktop, slow as heck - that's why I gave up and went back to 2013. Glad to hear it didn't affect everybody.
