    I see one extra dot...

    But but that extra dot isn't functionality, it's organization/team size. If you're solo or a small company... free version does just fine.

      Exactly: let that organization/team buy that license - it ain't gonna be my buck :laugh: Aside: fortunately, soon there are going to be 10 years since I had to call someone my boss (excepting SWMBO, of course :laugh: )

          I've been using for a long time the free version. Looking at the feature matrix, of the different editions, for me the free one works just great. Compare Visual Studio Product Offerings | Visual Studio[^]

          Not a lot of difference between free and Pro. If you pay for it will it actually work?

            I must be the oddball here, but for my limited needs, I find VC2022 a superb tool (the community/free edition). It might have crashed on me in some rare case, but for the most part it has been rock solid. Sorry, I cannot join the club of Microsoft bashers. :)

              My main problem is with the designer, tools often gray out. You have to restart VS2022 and everything's fine, it's just a PITA to restart often times I use the designer.

                IMHO, it is not worth buying it since Visual Studio 2024 or 2025 is going to be out soon.

                  Unless you are an "Enterprise" (more than 250 PCs or more than US $1,000,000 annual revenue), there is no difference between the Community Edition and the Pro Edition. Mind you, an annual income of US $1,000,000 is a problem I'd love to have... :)

                    From the VS license fine print -

                    Quote:

                    Visual Studio Community is free for individuals and for organizations engaged in training and education, academic research, developing open source projects, Windows device drivers, and SQL development. See the license terms for complete details

                    Doesn't this imply that commercial/enterprise use of the Community Edition is not permitted?

                      Anyway the only benefit I get are CP points and even those are few and of little commercial value :laugh:
