I have one big advice for you: forget "Express", use free-of-charge (under certain condition) Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition. This is the first version which offers Community Edition, without the limitation of "Express". Besides, I think this is a very good version, perhaps the very best after VS 2008.

I also have great expectations of future VS 2015, but I want to wait until final official release (not presently available "preview"), scheduled for November 2015.

You cannot use Express editions for enterprise development work. Express editions are for personal, non-corporate work only.

First of all, there are technical limitations of Express. And VS Express for different application types were different products. In other words, inconveniences and limited tools. Community Edition is roughly equivalent to Professional. Legally, it's also more relaxed: you can do commercial development by the team of limited number of developers.
