Love all the improvements coming with each update to Visual Studio, keep up the great work. So many new features in 15.8 that I wasn't even aware were there, thanks for showing them.

She's fantastic! Her enthusiasm and pride in her team's work come through in this video.

I like the scroll down thing where you see the whole document, really helpful. There is a bit of a problem though if you need to use visual studio build tools from 2015 they are not really compatible with the new version.

Really love VS 15.8. I have used it since Preview 3. It's really fast now.

I wonder if I will still want to renew my ReSharper subscription with these latest productivity updates in Visual Studio 2017 ... :-)

18:35 The only remaining simplification would be to remove the "? true : false" at the end. ;)

This is all great. If you would be able to use the same standard shortcuts as those in VS code or any other editor, that would be great! I mean, some of the text editing functions that are available in Code are sooo good. Block selecting, alt-moving, ctrl-alt-arrow duplicating (that is what I am getting at, ctrl-d in VS). Is it too ubiquitous to try and merge the functionality? Code is such an awesome project.

But when do I get the Intellisense update that writes my code for me? It still expects me to type two or three letters before it figures out what I want to do. Who has time for that?

Very nice to see all these features coming in to VS as well..

[maamardli]

Great improvements!! Thank you for this video.

In the docs the Light and Dark modes shouldn't use the moon for dark because that should be used for night mode which would be different.

[JesseHouwing]

That's great stuff @kendra! That epic sh*t sticker is well deserved!

[AdamsTaiwan]

Since developer time is precious, these video should only show what's new for the latest version. MS could create playlists linking them together for those who are getting started.

What's the difference between integration tests and unit tests?, I love her.

[ericrook]

Will IntelliCode eventually make suggestions based on your personal code? Or will the recommendations always be based on these 2000 open source projects?

[samiryt]

It would be better if Ctrl+D would do as in Sublime text and almost all other editors that support multiple custors.

20:50 this is in resharper used 3 years back.

Instead of focusing on making VS2017 load a project 2 seconds faster than 2015, could you "PLEASEEE" fix some of all the everyday super annoying bugs? - I think VS2017 has become one of the most buggy versions of VS ever, which is a shame, as i LOVE VS, and loved how it use to work (before you screwed it up completely) - Don't care about live-tests, because it only works in the Enterprise version (which i have license to), but i can't use it, because its so heavy and buggy, that i had to downgrade to pro anyway.
