The installer for Community edition includes support for a few key open source development stacks provided by third parties. (My copy of Eclipse Luna, equipped for Python, Java, and Golang work, is only around 500MB on-disk.) Sprawling or not, a cold launch of Community on my system (a 16GB, 3.5GHz Intel Core i7) takes about the same time to kick off as Eclipse itself, around 5 seconds. A basic setup with the options selected by default, the Web developer tools alone, starts at 6GB and goes up from there.

Those used to the single-folder installation of, say, Eclipse will faint when they see the sprawl of this program. Next, consider the sheer size of Visual Studio Community compared to other IDEs.

How much will it appeal to those already on a free (or open source) IDE, especially when dealing with software stacks that aren't Microsoft's? The short answer: Pretty appealing, although it comes at the cost of dealing with some Microsoft-isms.įirst among those catches is the licensing, which comes with some strings attached for corporate users. Individual users have no restrictions and can develop commercial apps freely, but organizations and enterprises are limited to use "in a classroom learning environment, for academic research, or for contributing to open source projects." Unlike the for-pay versions of Visual Studio, Community is devised for and offered to non-enterprise and open source developers. Not free as in open source - Microsoft isn't quite that progressive - but free as in beer, and intended (in Microsoft's words) "for creating modern applications for Windows, Android, and iOS, as well as Web applications and cloud services." With Visual Studio 2015 out to the public in several editions, Visual Studio 2015 Community stands out as the freebie in the batch.
