There are some great things coming in Visual Studio 2017 . . . someday. Some features have existed since 2013. Some only partially. With .NET Core being the future, these features need to be completed, especially since much of it mimics a nodeJS-esque process.
Live testing. It looks as though it is working, the progress visual moves, but the tests aren't actually being executed; this is the most misleading UI/UX in a long time. Some articles, and GitHub issue notes say "next release" but we're still waiting and wanting.
Browser Explorer. Technically it works. The lack of live reload is heartbreaking. Gulp (which Microsoft recommends) and Grunt can watch for filesystem changes and execute tasks, such as browser refresh with connect, yet this IDE hasn't implemented it.
There are plenty of good reasons to switch. Being on 15.3 without these features, and with many open issues, is a let down. Here's to hoping that Microsoft can clean this up . . . and soon.
