The Visual Studio (VS) engineering teams have shifted into overdrive as they curate the next major release of their flagship IDE. Rather than resting on their laurels, they're making informed decisions while iterating at warp speed with a high degree of quality and innovation. And best of all, NO MORE SHOUTY MENUS
Yeah, they fixed that a while back. I'm still hurting over it.

I'm still happy with VS 2008

But that version obviously wasn't broken enough, so they've been "iterating at warp speed" to fix it.

Small aside:
Does anyone actually use the "dark" theme by choice (i.e. not just because the other available themes are even worse)?

The default blue theme is fine with me. But lots like the dark theme.

They're all much of a muchness, to me.
I just want the old, visibly-contrasting title bars back. I'm sick of clicking on the wrong window, because you can barely tell where the top window ends and the one behind it starts.

From my own personal and completely un-scientific observations, it seems that younger folk seem to prefer the Dark theme, whereas the slightly more *cough* mature developer prefer the lighter / Blue themes.

My coworker in a dimly lit room does. With his lack of other lighting (by choice) the bright theme would be blinding on a big monitor.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I use f.lux on my computer plus dark theme in VS to avoid eye strain. Plus darker themes are easier to navigate and read for me personally.

I use dark themes in every editor/IDE that supports one. VS, WebStorm, Sublime, etc...
I have gigantic wide screen monitors that have very large areas of empty space when looking at individual code files (the space comes in handy when merging or debugging which is the reason for them, but for coding... not so much). When that space is white, it actually hurts my eyes. I can look at a dark monitor for a lot longer than I can a white one.

Until win 8, you could set the "window" colour (I'd call it the "paper" colour) to something less harmful to your eyes and headache-inducing, but they "fixed" that, so now you're stuck with white or black, unless you want to continually run .reg files to set a colour*, which gets reset to white at random intervals.
* You can actually set it once in the registry, then quickly save it as a theme, and reload the theme every time it gets "fixed", but I just keep a .reg file on my desktop.

The latest smartphone figures from Gartner are out, and they paint an extremely familiar picture. But the next version of Windows Mobile will change all that!

Just bought a Lumia 650: cheap and offers a great hardware inside.
Still stick in the 0.4%, then...

In a recent review of bootcamps, TechBeacon found that 17 of 24 programs claimed that 90% or more of their students got full-time programming jobs or freelancing positions within six-to-12 months of graduation. But those numbers can be misleading. I'm guessing... coding?

This is why billions were spent on laying cable.
I cannot think of anything that could be more worthy of high bandwidth usage.
Except maybe Paris Hilton fan apps.

Adds 40+ days to support lifespan of version 1507, the mid-2015 debut edition. Is this some reverse psychology method for getting everyone to upgrade?

How on Earth did I manage to hit "Reply" to a post I wasn't reading?
The machine I'm using is win 8.1, so I blame winio.

I was sort-of on the verge of kind-of agreeing with him, when he blew it by not saying "And document your code properly, you lazy open-source sh1t-shovellers!"
