What is your point ? Of course old platforms are discontinued and new platforms are created. Microsoft is not charity, it is a company.

What are we hoping for? Windows 9 Update 5?

Actually Windows 8 Desktop (only) Edition might be worth having.

Notepad++ is still around.

Are you suggesting to use NotePad++ for ASP development? It does provide nice color coding for the code.

Its a good editor.
Handles large files too.

Can you run/execute code within the environment (NotePad++)?

While they were busy discontinuing stuff to usher us over to WEight, I simply discontinued developing for anything made by Mickeysoft.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
I hold an A-7 computer expert classification, Commodore. I'm well acquainted with Dr. Daystrom's theories and discoveries. The basic design of all our ship's computers are JavaScript.

What are you developing outside Mickeysoft?

If you're looking for a cold shower, I'll suggest MS reverses course again and discontinues the classic desktop completely.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Windows 8 is perfect for novices and experts, the middle suffers.
It is amazing to see people furiously clicking through menus instead of learning a few key combos.
Try Win+X anywhere.
Win+X,U,U[^] for those who doesn't have an ATX power supply
Try Win+<1..9,0> on the desktop (Win7, too)
Win+R (Win7, too)
Win+arrows (Win7, too)
Win+[Shift]+Tab (Win7, too)

The only people that suffer with windows 8 are self proclaimed computer experts, people in the middle have no trouble with windows 8, not does anything that has the ability to learn something.

Entity Framework will be gone shortly
SharePoint is a permanent service
Windows 8 is a permanent paradigm shift
