Welcome to VS 2017 <3

Man, you do have a lot of things pinned up in your taskbar...

What are all the apps on your taskbar to the right of office?

@aayusharyan yeah that's what the taskbar is for :)

@TechnoTrumpet zeplin, postman, snipping tool, pain, paint.net, store, calculator, vlc (UWP), sqlitestudio, filezilla, nextenreader (UWP), advanced rest client, pulse secure

@dontbeevil thanks! BTW like the username.

Is it faster than its predecessors?

I hope they fixed the weird XAML parser errors this time

@dontbeevil you know you can just super and type the name of the app you need.. your task bar is killing me

here there are some news

@mundo03 yes I do that for the apps that I use less, I'm a GUI guy, but on my desktop there is only the bin ;)

Hmm... I have 2016... Should I really upgrade... Not sure the improvements are worth it?

I'm on SSD so speed send pretty fast already...

Eww Windows.. that Burns my eyes

Is this a final production release? Not just a beta build anymore ;o if so, I'm going to have to try! Been enjoying Vs 2015 honestly.

@allanx2000 maybe you mean 2015...anyway there is the free community edition, it's worth a try :)

@nicnaknic yes it is just released yesterday

@mundo03 ah one more thing, is also for some temporary, portables, new or less used but important apps that I don't remeber the name :)

@hisetip please don't start the linix/open source/mac fanboys war :)

@dontbeevil CE has any limitations? Not like VS Express right?

I actually install the full versions, my bro is in college so DreamSpark

@allanx2000 no limitations anymore in CE like it was in s**tty express, functionalities side and license side, you can even use it for commericial use till small companies :)

@dontbeevil cool, guess MSFT is learning from their college program. Better to get all devs hooked on their software instead and cash in once we become team leads and start requesting it at work.

@allanx2000 yeah it's already a while that MS understood and changed their direction, CE is available since VS2013 (but it was released about a year later than the paid versions), but with 2015 and 2017 was released always on the same day... of course if you can, download the PRO version for free, you'll have few more cool features :) ...unfortunately many people still stuck in 90s MS stereotypes and don't understand that things changes, specially in IT very fast !

Finally someone on DevRant who doesn't hate vs and Windows other than me

@GuidoFK we're not alone, keep fights the old 90s stereotypes :)

@dontbeevil I agree 😁

@billgates to be honest with you, I didn't like Bill Gates till he left Microsoft, after that he did lot of lovely things :)

@divil nah I'm not a web developer anymore, it's just for some personal fast staff :)

But does VS let you undo what you have written after restarting it, by pressing 'ctrl + z' ?

@jalebiBhai never thought about it, because never needed it, probably with some extensions... Which IDE does it?

@dontbeevil Atom

by Default

I am not using atom anymore, as it consumes lot of RAM, which is not too big in my laptop ( 4GB ). VS comes with nice UI, but it lacked the feature of going back to changes you made in history, even after restarting Atom ( As long as you have not closed the tab ). I tried VS, it is really good but lacked this thing.
Besides both TE consumes horrible amount of RAM.

I am currently using Sublime and I am really happy with it

@jalebiBhai we have to clarify one thing, probably you're talking about VS code, I mainly use the bigger brother VS (now 2017) :) for VS Code you can suggest this feature on github, for VS on user voice :)

@dontbeevil yes VS code.
Can't afford VS

@jalebiBhai but still if you use Atom/sublime I guess for your use is more appropriate vs code than vs ... vs is the best when come to .net / .net core / xamarin

VS code was made specially for web dev
