You are correct. I wasn't really complaining about it as much as just sighing over it. Android is so nice because I can develop a native (or Xamarin) app and instantly try it out on my real phone. iOS is quite a bit more hoops to jump through.

You are right about that for sure.

Does anyone know where I can get the VS2013 Update 5 iso? I went to the Microsoft page and when I went to "older versions", it said it couldn't find any files to download.
I can't "upgrade" visual studio because I'm on a DoD system and don't have permissions to install anything, and besides, newer versions of the compiler haven't been "approved" for installation yet.
The system admin said if I could find the ISO, he'd install it.

I checked out the VS2017 comparison of edition, and the ONLY difference between the community edition (free) and the pro edition ($465) is the addition of "CodeLens" in the pro edition. Every other feature is identical to the community edition.
Seriously? One added feature for $465? That certainly is a compelling reason to pay money for the product...
They must not want people to buy the Pro version because the enterprise version is $600 and includes EVERYTHING. Given it's 1-2 year support lifespan, $600 is a bit much to pay.

Community is for small businesses, open source developers, and hobby coders. Once your product takes off and you start making bank and get a bigger team, you have to use pro

That and the license restrictions of only being free for a team of 5 or less or companies under a certain annual turnover.

I'm only me, and this would be for home use. To be honest, I've never been a fan of Microsoft's pricing structure - for any of their software...

Yeah, after going back and looking at the comparison I see that, as you mentioned, CodeLens is really the only difference. I will be canceling my monthly subscription and going to Community Edition. I have only had it for a few months now, so I the $$ damage is minimal. I'm actually super glad you posted this, and very ticked off at Microsoft for this.
I did read that the Pro has to be used by companies meeting certain legal requirements - this does not extend to individual users or teams <= 5 users, obviously.

And the irony of that is I turn off code lens. It's distracting and 99% of the time, useless. But that's me.

I already tried that site - it's blocked by our IT idiots. I'll have to wait until I get home to check it out.

One of the links worked. A 5.9gb download that will take over 5 hours to complete on our crappy network - Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick I suppose... :/

Don't know if this is of any use to you, but the file I have is named mu_visual_studio_2013_update_5_x86_dvd_6815499.iso, dates back from July 2015, and its size is 6,407,950,336 bytes. For some reason I hadn't saved the direct URL, which is something I usually keep around in my install folders. I could generate a hash for it if you'd like.

Wasn't 2013 known to have stability issues? 2015 was a major improvement although I've been told 2017 sorta got more unstable.
