I'm loving it already. I was able to update from RC to RTM within 20 minutes on two machines with no hiccups. I was expecting hours of downtime. This is great stuff!

  Definitely sounds much better than <= 2015, where you may as well walk away for a few hours... and hope it doesn't hang for some weird reason.

Downloading...i pray to god that intellisense finally works for large c++ code bases such as Unreal Engine. Wishful thinking?

As a newcomer to .net I was really confused by the lacking refactoring support in Visual Studio (yes, things we spoiled Java brats take for granted like extract method, extract class, move to separate file etc). Is this available in VS 2017? Edit: and live unit testing! I was looking forward to that until I found out it was only available in the enterprise version. (And yes, here you have an edge on Java anyway I think)
- tony2016 10y ago
  There are many refactorings already and if you want more you can invest in Resharper or CodeRush.
- mistermann 10y ago
  I think "most everyone" just uses Resharper - Microsoft kind of has a background of letting a healthy ecosystem of 3rd party addin providers exist, and only gradually incorporates the best features into the core product.
  - memsom 10y ago
    Not at all. Never used resharper after 10+ years of .Net.
  - kogir 10y ago
    Most times when someone complains that Visual Studio is slow, you'll find they have Resharper installed.

      Hard to live without though! I upgraded my PC to a 4.2ghz six core 6850k i7, 32gb ram and a 950 Pro NVME soon after I started dev in C#. It was still slow, but somewhat less so. :)
  - novaleaf 10y ago
    i love the features of resharper, but after all these years, the performance is still super awful when you have large projects. Every new version I give it a try to see if the perf problems are fixed, and every time I have to turn it off after a few hours.

One complaint....the installer doesn't seem to show required disk space per component....with the features I've chose the install is 40 GB!!! I don't have nearly that room on my SSD but that's where I want it, but there's no way of knowing if I can pare my install down to fit in what I do have!
- tony2016 10y ago
  Add and remove a component and look at the total in each. The difference is the component's size.
- hailmike 10y ago
  I had the same 40.8 GB surprise. ~34 GB was Xamarin.

Congrats on the launch. The download link takes you to a page ( https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/whatsnew/ https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/whatsnew/ ) where the main download button doesn't actually appear when the window is resized below a certain width, and there's no obvious indication of what's going on. This really confused and frustrated me.
