Microsoft have been making huge efforts to win back developers lately. They've moved a lot of stuff to github, they released Visual Studio Code (lightweight and free code editor), added more support for non-Microsoft languages like NodeJS and Python.. generally steps in the right direction.
Looks like they're continuing this with VS 2017. Basic key points are:
- Faster installation: with more intelligent package grouping based on frameworks/languages/platforms
- Reduced Bloat: A ton of performance enhancements that make VS ideal for editing large projects or single files. Includes a performance center
- Better Azure integration (That's a given)
- Integration with GIT at the UI level - do everything you need within the IDE
At the moment I use visual studio when I need to edit a C# project (rarely)... but if the performance improvements really are as good as they advertise, then it may become my go-to code editor.
