Too late to edit, but, looking through the archives, it looks as if I might be incorrect about VS2015: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10278704 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10278704 Nevertheless, I stand by my comments re VS2013+. If you're accustomed to working on projects that support varied platform/compiler/libc combinations, but you've still specifically found VS2010 (and earlier) particularly difficult to work with due to the insistence on C89, you'll probably find VS2013 (and later) substantially more to your taste, and by quite some margin. (That's certainly been my experience anyway. After some initial effort to work around library differences, my C99 code builds with gcc/clang/VS2013 - and does so, ongoing, with very little effort.)
