2013 yes, but no azure.
Only issue is that it's hanging the processes on the local IIS. Haven't found the reason for that yet.

Joe, I do (VS2013 Ultimate on multiple set-ups) and have no issues. However all set-ups are pretty "high end" (ssd's, large RAM, high end processor, etc...)
I don't get any noticeable change in experience from, say VS 2012.

If I'm not mistaken, VS 2010 already supports Qt (if support == Qt plugin).

A lot depends on what sub-windows you have open, because if each one is updating itself every time you move the mouse, it'll eat a lot of processing time/threads.

Every time I hear my ghosts-of-youthful-exuberance whinging piteously in the basement of my limbic system, whimpering that they never have any fun any more, accusing me of becoming a dour old man, something of a hermit, a little like Howard Hughes without the money, Mormons, or mysophobia ...
And I start feeling that melancholy which is perhaps standard-issue during that stage of life when sleep, and the telomeres, get shorter, and the water gone under the bridge becomes shallower, allowing the skeletons in memory to clack in an ominous syncopation as their bones are dashed again-and-again against the rocks of anguish-past that will not let bygones be bygones ...
Science to the rescue ! "Shaping the oral microbiota through intimate kissing" [^] (complete article).
"Mouth-to-mouth contact has been observed in a wide variety of animals, including fish, birds, and primates and serves a range of functions, including the assessment of physical abilities and the acquirement of food. However, intimate kissing involving full tongue contact and saliva exchange appears to be an adaptive courtship behavior unique to humankind and is common in over 90% of known cultures, as reported in [1] and references herein." Living vicariously through the adventures of these brave pioneers who waded into the wetware wilderness of kissy-kissy with biological assays, and specially goosed drinking yogurt, was ... just compelling !
And, how wonderful that an all too typical so-human-male legend-in-his-own-mind quantitative fudge of hank-of-pank frequency was discovered:
"Strikingly, 74% of the men reported higher intimate kiss frequencies than the women of the same couple, resulting in a male average of 10 and a female average of five intimate kisses per day (Additional file 3). This probably results from male over reporting, as previously noted in an analysis of self-reports on sexual behavior, including number of partners and frequency of intercourse, in particular among unmarried couples [8]. One report of an average of 50 intimate kisses per day over the last year (Additional file 3) was according to the opinion of the authors unrealistically high, not in agreement with the reported time to latest kiss of 18 h and showed a large discrepancy with the self-reported kiss frequency of his partner of eight intimate kisses per day." Now begone is woe-is-me for Science has restored my equanimity !

FWIW: I recently had to replace one of my 24" 1920x1200 monitors for a 27" 1920x1080.
I hate it. Even though it's bigger, I really miss those extra 120 rows of pixels.
[Edit] At least what you're getting is an actual upgrade. That should be pretty sweet. I almost went for a 4K 29" monitor, but I found the text, unless rescaled, was just too small at this size.

Yeah I think 27" is just a little too big for 1080p.
In a previous job I had two 1920x1200 24" screens, definitely better than 1080p. As you say those extra 120 rows of pixels make all of the difference.

I think I work in an environment teetering on the edge of toxicity.
Our shop follows "strict agile principles" says our leader to any outsiders unfortunate enough to ask about our processes and get a response. Previously we were a self-guided waterfall group which transformed from a ten million dollar company that was eventually bought by an enterprise.
Present day, we have added a few more heads; one of which is a "senior" who is baffled by things like string.Format, generics and well most any other concepts beyond Hello-world and IDE features, but he's got 20+ years experience... he didn't get fizz-buzzed or any coding interview btw.
But I digress. Now our process is "agile". And by "agile" I mean we subscribe to the following practices:
- Sprints vary from 1-6 weeks and are as predictable as the weather on Jupiter
- User Stories? I hear the term often, but the team has never actually seen one
- Estimation and Planning, we do this sporadically but it has been a while since the last one
- Tasks are added to the sprint EVERY day
- Need clarification/details on tasks like "Implement Security" and "Improve Performance", ask the product owner
- Have concerns about a feature or edict that would be construed as a bad practice or horrible UI layout, take it up with the product owner
- There is no official product owner and the tasks above typically come from the leaders or their suboordinates
- Retrospectives, i think we've had one of those.
- Backlog grooming, thats where you add more tasks right?
- Conversations like this happen often:
Mgmt: We need to implement feature Y for the release we scheduled 45 days from now (based on no estimates btw)
Dev: You told me feature X was priority. We spec'ed out feature X so we could deliver a finished product in 45 days. Which is a priority?
Mgmt: Both... (along with a WTF are you asking expression)
Dev: Lets assume feature Y takes the same time we think X will. Thats 90 days. You want that in 45 days?
Mgmt: Yes, you guys are sharp. You're a great, talented group; you'll figure it out (<- Leadership training)
Dev: Talent aside, time is time... where are we going to squeeze this extra stuff in?
Mgmt: Wherever you can. Theres always nights and weekends right?
- Theres a graph that tracks the burndown for tasks to the end of the sprint. Mgmt is concerned about why it always trends upward and never down. Perhaps its a bug in TFS. Solution: don't estimate something until you start working on it...
I could write a novel, but nonetheless. I once wondered what it was like to work on a dysfunctional team, but now I think I know.
It could always be worse right? Right?!!

Leave.
It's not going to get better.
And if you start regularly doing evenings and weekends to meet artificial and manipulated deadlines, they will start to expect it. And then rely on it - and finally insist on it. Elephant that!
