Truly great intellisense and all that and even the installer improved. But then I actually tried to test the upgraded C++ compiler and managed to make it crash in 2 minutes... It literally tells me to simplify or change my code! 1auto integralPow = [](const auto value, const unsigned power)
2{
3 typedef decltype(value) Value;
4 typedef std::function<Value(Value, Value, const unsigned)> Func;
5
6 Func recPow = [&](Value a, Value v, const unsigned p)
7 {
8 switch (p)
9 {
10 case 0:
11 return a;
12 default:
13 return recPow(a * v, v, p - 1);
14 }
15 };
16 return recPow(1, value, power);
17};
Admittedly, this scenario isn't common (yet?), so it will likely not be that big of a deal, but I don't really feel that comfortable using a compiler that I already managed to crash with perfectly valid, not too complex code. /semi-rant.

What I want to know is, have they got rid of the infernal 'project folder structure in Visual Studio is entirely distinct from project layout in file system' thing? How about the fact that whenever you edit project settings, you have to remember to make your changes to all configurations, and if you forget, then the process of reconciling the differences becomes tedious? It's amazing how Visual Studio manages to be so great in some ways and so abysmal in others -- |

Managing the linker, the include directories, the library directories, and the runtime environment variables should be the most simple, direct, and obvious part of the program. But there are at least 3 ways to access these things and they are tucked away with all the other less comonly used things. Drives me crazy. -- |

When I hear about VS 2015, I go 'Wow, I'm still using VS 2008 Agui GUI API -> https://github.com/jmasterx/Agui |

Assuming that the UI in VS 2008 is not a WTF for you for whatever reason (I think all IDEs get to that point if they're out long enough, the reason some here are text editor and makefile style developers), I feel that starting with 2012, VS has been doing some crazy WTF-ness in their UI decisions. I blame the UI formally known as Metro. --- |

They slightly improved the UI and got rid of the stupid ALL CAPS menu items.
