it seems like memory profiler is powerful.

I can tell you my favorite feature of VS 2013 CE: It's free!

And that specific feature makes it my favourite VS!

Being able to turn off SHOUTY mode and the Dark Side theme.
Other than that, it works. It's a little slow at times (compared to VS2010) because it doesn't seem to cache system source and symbols as well, but for the price, it's damn good!

CodeLens. But it's also my most hated because occasionally it gets itself into a CPU-hogging, memory-hogging mode that just makes VS2013 unusable. When it works it's a wonderful productivity tool, but when it doesn't it's a real pain. It's very much a work in progress, but has great promise.
And this is on an i7 laptop with 32GB ram...

It's hard to explain, but I like the fact that it's just less buggy than 2012, which is just less buggy than 2010. And every update for 2010, 2012 and 2013 reduces the buggy-ness of the whole thing. Any time you have to go back and use an older version, you will encounter all sorts of random little bugs which aren't present in the current version, and it's not until I have to do that that I really start to appreciate how good the current version is.
There was an episode of Top Gear where they were explaining the difference between the Aston Martin DB-9 and the DBS, and discussing why the DBS costs so much more despite being essentially the same car. The way they explained it was that despite being essentially the same, the DBS has all sorts of tiny little tweaks the DB-9 doesn't have. Any one of those tweaks on it's own seems insignificant but when you combine them all together, the DBS is significantly better.
That's how I feel about every new version of Visual Studio these days.

The "profile" feature is both annoying and useful. If you sign in you can save/change your "profile"; then if you login on another system, your profile settings will be applied for the session. it's annoying because logging in on another machine invalidates every other system, so if I start it on my laptop, the copy on my desktop will freak out- basically it won't let me use both at once, which makes perfect sense. I worked around this by instead using Visual Studio 2015 on my laptop.

The fact that I can install ReSharper on top of it.

An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer — you're assigned to hell."
So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of accommodations and starts designing and building improvements.
After a while, they’ve got air-conditioning and flush toilets, escalators, elevators and so on ... and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day, God calls Satan on the telephone.
"So, how's it going down there in hell?" God says.
"Hey, things are going great. We've got air-conditioning and flush toilets and escalators. There's no telling what our engineer is going to come up with next!" Satan says.
"What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake — he should have never gotten down there. Send him back immediately!" God says.
"No way! I like having an engineer on the staff — I'm keeping him!" Satan says.
"Send him back up here or I'll sue!" God says.
Satan laughs uproariously and answers:
"Yeah, right. And just where are you going to get a lawyer?"

I've been told once that God himself is an engineer.
Because only an engineer could think of bringing a hose reserved for waste disposal in the middle of an area dedicated to entertainment.

Better version: God himself is a civil engineer. Because only a civil engineer could think of putting a playground inside a sewage processing plant.

I don't know what god may have thought, but I get a very good picture of what you think about.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Just what was going through the mind of the product manager or whatever that though a Windows Service needed a visual designer? The only thing you can use it for, standard, is to add an installer, and that should rather simply be a class template, or at worst, have it's own designer. But to add a service class to a project, and be faced with a large, grey expanse that is virtually useless strikes me as more hardcode retarded than simply idiotic.

That's a legacy name: it started with "Visual C++" at version 1 in 1993 to differentiate it from the existing Microsoft C++ (and the Borland Turbo C++) to indicate that it was a "complete system" which allowed you to design and develop the whole product from the same environment.
[edit]
Yes, I just remembered Visual Basic was in 1991 - but I do try to forget that, and the huge stack of floppies it came on...
But it was Visual C++ that become Visual Studio, and VB was bolted in later.

Wow! Pretty good memory for an old sheep rustler!
My first 'Visual' product was Visual C++ v1.52 (which I still have) but I have no idea what year that was. I was using Turbo Pascal at the time - a far superior product - but that disappeared after the Visual garbage crushed it with louder marketing.
Will Rogers never met me.
