Maybe not outright but he's probably got a share in it.

Considering the amount of their product I consume, I should be given a substantial share in Starbucks. But do you think they will give me a single share of stock? Naaah! Ungrateful sunshines!

I don't know why Starbucks does this, but many people have remarked that the quality of their coffee here in the USA is much better than abroad. Believe me when I tell you that in America Starbucks is one of the better brands!![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

But how long will that share last?

15 minutes (the average time for a breakfast)!

Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Before the VStudio Community edition released you had to install 3 different VStudio products to get all of the project types. It was crazy.
Finally, I installed VStudio 2013* Community which seemed to do everything but I never uninstalled all those other products. Now, I'm going through and uninstalling
Visual Studio Express 2013 For Web
Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop
Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows (EDIT: uninstall has been running for 20 minutes still not done)
Can't believe how slow the uninstall is.
I'm glad Microsoft finally brought these all back together again.
*I know, Community 2015 is available, but that's another crazy thing. Looks like you can't upgrade 2013, but you have to uinstall and install 2015 seperately.

And you want to talk about bloated...
The last upgrade from 4.10.1 to 4.10.2 was a 2.2 gig download.

I know and it's unfortunate that installing a new version just leaves the old versions out there.
Well, I guess they could say it is for compatibility reasons.
Anyways, the Desktop version is still uninstalling and the progress bar hasn't moved even though it's been like 35 minutes or something.

That would require everyone to upgrade at the same time so that Solutions can be loaded.
Some people are very slow adopters.
From an aesthetic point of view, the last version I liked was 2010. All the new versions are flat and should have come standard with an intravenous caffeine dispenser.

Really? VS2015 Enterprise Update 1 takes up 218MB on my machine. Around 1GB with all the web packages. I agree it got a ton of bloat in the past. But this new update is super slick!
|
|

|

When all is said and done, even MS says it takes up about 10GB[^]. That's like 3-4 times more than Windows itself, and for what? It's not media intensive, like a video game would be... it's a fancy text editor that can be slow (try working with XAML) with a compiler or three behind it.
It's bloated.

Ok, I am curious: Can you add plugins like the Windows Installer XML (WiX) to the Community Edition? What about Microsoft's Ribbon plug-in? I have no use for it, if the answer is negative. I suppose the 2015 versions of VS are still native 32bit apps, not 64?
Later edit: See this thread:

I just looked for a project using WiX installer and couldn't find anything in community 2015.
Maybe there is some way to get it but it doesn't look like it from my initial search.
Also, I can't tell if it's native 64 bit version or not. Installed on a 2014 R2 server 64 bit vm but I just can't tell if Community 2015 is true 64 bit or not. Very difficult to tell. Looks like it is installed under Program Files (x86) though.
I built a winform as 64 bit and tried debugging and it allowed it so maybe that is fixed, not sure.

Thanks for your response. To add WiX functionality in the past, you needed at least the Pro version of VS. That probably still applies - A pity.
I don't think any versions of VS are native 64bit apps. Yes, they can build 64 bit apps, but the VS engines themselves have always been 32 bit.

Use SharpDevelop to Create and Compile your WIX projects.
