They're cool, aren't they? I like'em too, in addition to the new async return type. I do not like the local functions feature though, can't see why they made it so.

What's broken is we're all using VS 2015 but the remote build process is still building with C# 4. So, if you don't remember to set the "use C# version" under build -> advanced to 4.0, it's easy to write a lot of code using C# 5 or 6 features, only to discover the remote build fails.
Or worse, as in my case, you find a snazzy open source package that uses C# 6.0 syntax.

Well its a matter team consensus..its better to get to C# latest when their is time than later brood over it.

Our build server is set up for C#5, but I just include the latest Microsoft.Net.Compilers nuget package into my project and the build server uses that version to build my code. So, I have never had to change the build server and can always use the latest version of C#.

That's sneaky. I will have to try that.

4.5.1 though the next project will be .Net Core 2. Oh joy.

Writing for Linux, Android, iOS, or MacOS? Otherwise, there is no reason to specify .NET Core 2.0 or NET Standard 2.0. If the program runs on Windows only, then the full .NET Framework is the best choice.
That said, I use .NET Standard 2.0 for my new library projects, so they are portable to other OSs, since I am associated with projects for iOS, Android, and Linux.

Hah. Actually yeah. As I get older I realized living too much behind a computer makes your life worse not better. Well, that and I'm looking for a job... again. Because my last contract crapped out. So when in job hunt mode I tend not to do stuff like visit CP.
I like the !

I freelance, so I'm using 7.1

I like the ValueTuple struct facility, and am enjoying exploring the other features the way a one-eyed cat looks in a seafood store :
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it.

You think you have it rough, try using C# 7 while your projects target .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.0 ...

I am still using the version of C# that is installed with Visual Studio 2015/SP3 for my military simulation development.
For all intents and purposes, whether it is for business, game development, serious simulations, or scientifics, and internals, there is nothing really critically important in any of the new C# versions coming out. Most new features are either different ways of doing the same things that were being done previously or some fine-tuned optimizations, few of which will be really noticeable.
That being said, if a new version of C# is released with a feature that is sorely needed for a specific requirement than an upgrade should be considered.
Other than that, upgrading simply allows the developer to say he or she is using the latest version...
