While not programming per se, it is a tool that programmers use. 🙂

Anyway, anyone get a chance to kick the tires on this yet?
What about the linux or mac people, you get a chance to install it yet?

The thing that still irks me, is the almost complete lack of C99 support, if they would have added that, it would have made shock waves.
It would have also been nice if they supported gcc's linker format as well.

Linux? Hmm, it appears there's a "Visual Studio Code" thing for Linux. I guess it's just an editor? Also:

Nope, nope, nope. D:

I haven't tried '15 but the std::xxx stuff in CS 2013 is worlds better than it used to be. But I just had this fail on me trying to append one string vector to another:

string_array1.insert( string_array1.end(), sa_2.begin(), sa_2.end() ) ;

See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/201718/concatenating-two-stl-vectors

It compiles but trips a runtime assert. I ended up with a loop and push_back since this was supposed to be one trivial piece of my work for the day and a MSDN search didn't turn up a reason for the assert.

Huh, didn't notice that was pre-release. I assume the actual release will turn that off, or at least opt out.
Wanted to try it, but I am waiting for a new SSD to arrive.
