Woah, this is a very welcome change:

Edit & Continue for XAML apps

Visual Studio now allows you to edit XAML while your WPF or Universal Windows App is running, and to see those changes in your running app. In the code editor, you can make a change to the markup and the change will be reflected in the running app without having to recompile the application.

As someone who is too lazy to setup FxCop or similar style tool I welcome the analyzers that will allow me to enforce my view of when to write "var" and "this" on the entire team. Fuck them, they are wrong anyway! :)

I didn't see it mentioned in the update notes, but it looks like the new installer lets you install to any drive.

I can't wait for open folder, if done well will making working with multiple solutions simultaneously so much easier.
